Philip Glass's serious work in the field of "world music" was recognized long before the term entered the popular vocabulary.
One of the most fruitful experiences was with Uakti - Aguas da Amazonia, composed by Philip Glass and performed by the Brazilian ensemble Uakti (pronounced wah-keh-chee), an aural journey through the waters of the Amazon.
Over the last twenty years, the award winning experimental group Uakti has developed a major international following. After being introduced to Glass by Paul Simon, Uakti and Glass composed a work together for Grupo Corpo, a Brazilian dance company. The group has delighted audiences and crossed musical genres for decades.
Constructing all their own instruments, Uakti takes their name from a Brazilian Indian legend who had holes all over his body and as he ran through the forest, the wind passed through his body making fantastic unusual sounds
