about

Though they are one of only a few remaining harp trios in Alta Verapaz, the Xi family make their living mostly from itinerant jobs. COVID-19 has hit Latin America hard, and the stay-at-home orders in Guatemala (often enforced by arrest and jail time) have all but stopped the family's normal income sources. They are happy to share their music in hopes that album purchases might help them through these unprecedented tough times.
100% of revenue will be sent directly to the family.
