Jhon William CastaƱo Montoya is a Colombian violinist and composer who grew up in Pereira, a Colombian city 1700 meters high in the central part of the Andes, surrounded by mountains and coffee plantations.
His song titles are taken from the languages spoken by the indigenous peoples of Colombia, as the Muisca and Embera. So AntumiĆ  is the spirit that lives in the deep forest, and the spirit of the wild animals that are reincarnations of human souls; Jai are the shamans who learn of the teachers everything about health, naturalness, the rules of life; Quincha means hummingbird in Chibcha language and symbolizes youth and renewal, “the only creature capable of stopping while flying at a frightening speed, can thus fluctuate, advancing and retreating, going up and down.”
