Socavon — Creating a video game inspired by Peruvian folklore

Milena Warthon and Chila Jatun have created a masterpiece by modernizing iconic sounds from the Andes. The song hits a special chord with me because I grew up with this music. My grandma is from Puno, and I have the most joyful memories of dancing to the tune of Diablada, Caporates, Tinkus, and Waca Waca. The song really made me think of how rich Peruvian culture is, and how the narrative of these traditions can be applied to other forms of media. I was especially interested in video games for their ability to tell stories and the amount of art that you can pack in them (characters stories, visual styles, music, etc.). <a href="https://ruben-galvan.medium.com/socavon-creating-a-video-game-inspired-by-peruvian-folklore-434481d46d0">Learn More</a>
