Juan Sardón

Juan Sardón will turn 85 years old. He lives in the community of Coraguaya, in the department of Tacna, Peru. For 65 years he has used his hands to bend the metal of alcohol cans that serve as raw material to make zampoñas. Despite his advanced age, he still retains the precision and meticulousness that the job demands. Recently he learned of the death of a craftsman, his friend, who also knew this art. There are only two left in the town, including Sardón. His children have decided to devote themselves to agriculture, nobody else will continue his work, his art will go with him.
