gift for musician

Kneeling, a young man sounds his trumpet, carved from a ram's horn. He wears a beaded necklace and a loincloth of colorful Ghanaian kente cloth. Carved by hand from sese wood, this sculpture is the work of Winfred Korley. "These trumpeters blow their horns before the chief speaks, to draw the attention of the people," he says. "You should travel to Ghana and experience the art of horn blowing."

Leaning into the microphone, the vocalists moves to the beat. This rock band has gone professional. Armando Ramírez crafts the musicians from an amazing assortment of recycled metal and automobile parts. Sheet metal scraps, spark plugs, screws and wire all find a new life in this unique sculpture.

The artisan does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

Leaning forward, he expertly coaxes a quick jazz beat from the strings of his base guitar. Francis Agbete carves a modern dynamic image from dark brown teak wood.

This authentic panpipe is called a zampoña - the flute of the Andes that dates back to the Inca empire. The instrument, crafted of bamboo, is comprised of a concave arrangement of 23 pipes. Each pipe is slightly shorter than the next, and each one produces a unique pitch.

The flute arrives in a carrying case that emulates handloomed Inca textiles.

Playing music on their guitarras and drinking pisto liquor, a group of skeletons adds the spirit of Day of the Dead to your home decor.
