Los sikus que el compositor, director de orquesta, investigador y académico boliviano Cergio Prudencio trajo para la conferencia-taller “Territorios Tecnopensantes: Instrumentos musicales de la cultura aymara”, que dictó en el auditorio Pedro Carbo de la Biblioteca Municipal en el marco de la Minga Multimedia de Arte y Tecnología, los donó a la Universidad de las Artes como una parte de su corazón, dijo emocionado.
Lo señaló su director, el docente Fredy Vallejos en el acto inaugural, el 15 de julio anterior.
