That Rumi Cachimuel is from Equador, that all the products sold at World’s Hands are made by his family in Equador, and that he is an accomplished musician?  World’s Hands at 130 Main Street opened just after Mother’s Day.  Rumi is a new Gloucester resident who comes to us from Equador, via Somerville.  If you haven’t been into the store, do stop in.  It is a feast of color and beautiful summer dresses, skirts and tops, as well as beaded jewelry, bags and dreamcatchers. 

Rumiñahui Cachimuel is also a member of Yarina, a group that performs traditional Andean music and dance.  Rumi studied music theory and majored in classical orchestra and solo flute. A member of Yarina since 1992, he previously performed with the Andean Instruments Symphony Orchestra of Imbabura, Ecuador. He plays the bass, guitar, pallas, kenacho, sampoñas, mandolin, and charango. He is also a vocalist and dancer. Rumi studied flute at the Instituto de Musica Luis Ulpiano de la Torre. He has received bass instructions from Luis Guzman.

Rumi a multi-instrumentalist artist, has performed with Mariela Condo, Daniel Mancero, Alex Alvear and Marta Gomez. He has also been part of the musical composition and acted as the leading music role for the Ecuadorian Documentary Film “Sara la Espantapajaros”. His instruments include bandolin, kenas, sampoñas, rondador, mandolin, charango, bass and voice.

You can see and hear a performance by Yarina at http://yarinamusic.org/yarina-demo/ – check them out.  I’ve heard other Andean musical groups – Yarina has a very unique sound and the dancers are great.  We just have the coolest, most unique, and multi-talented people on this rock.

Erin Rulli and Beth Gillett represent at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery.  Erin gives a shout out for her brother, Caleb Rulli, who owns Hershey Frameshop in Rockport.  Look how beautiful Joey’s, Paul’s and Sharon’s work look behind them.  That really cool Discover Gloucester bag is still available for the connoisseur of Gloucester art that takes home one of these beautiful pieces by Joey C., Paul Frontiero or Sharon Lowe from the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery.
