Maestro Orlando Vera with Chungana (traditional rattle) in a Night Ceremony

This photo captures Orlando Vera, son and spiritual heir of the renowned Maestro Don Santos Vera, during a healing ceremony in northern Peru. Holding a chungana, a traditional rattle used by maestros of coast, he channels rhythm and energy into the ritual space. The darkness around him emphasizes the glowing intensity of the act, where sound becomes a pathway between the visible and the invisible.
