Chilean traditional music septet Inti-Illimani have spent the last 30 years mixing together South American folk styles and a human-rights oriented political agenda. Taking on the largely string-oriented folk music of the Andes Mountains, Inti-Illimani surround their often unison Spanish vocals with rainstorms of guitars, charangos, ronrocos, and guitarrons. In doing so, the group celebrates the everydayness of Andean music and culture--striking a chord of solidarity with global folk cultural struggles. --Andy Bartlett

Customer Reviews:
great performances of enjoyable pieces.......2006-03-11
David Russell is arguably the finest classical guitarist in the world, along with Manuel Barrueco and Paul Galbraith, and a few others. I have almost all Russell's CDs, and I enjoy them tremendously. Aire Latino is a collection of many of the best and most popular modern short pieces from Latin composers. Hearing his interpretation and flawless execution has rekindled my love for many of those pieces I once also played. Highly recommended!
It should have been earlier........2006-01-10
I mean the prize, of course. It's no doubt that David Russell is the best(not one of) when referring to 19th century(or style) music on classical guitar. In this album, every small piece is so attractive because of the romantic aspect in guitar, in
David. I own all the albums of David Russell. Although this one is not the best,it definitely deserve the prize, price and praize from guitar lovers from all over the world.
Thoughtful, Sensitive, and Skillful.......2005-08-08
This is a great performance for the very versatile David Russell. His playing is thoughtful and expressive, but also sensitive and not overly extraverted. His use of rubato is excellent on most tracks, and his constant contrast of dynamics, as well as vibrato, give the pieces on this album real life and emotion.
I had been performing 5 of the tracks on this album when it came out, so I can attest to the difficulty of many of these pieces, especially all three movements of the Morel "Sonatina." I can also say that his performances of these is very true; I could hear no incorrect notes , with the exception of some added notes in the first movement of "Sonatina," which I have since adopted myself for my own performance. His expressive interpretation is likewise impeccable on these tracks.
This record would be a great purchase for anyone interested in classical guitar, whether they are just getting into the genre or already have a large collection, or anyone interested in Latin American art music.
Transcendent Pleasure.......2005-04-26
Perfect! One will very rarely discover an album as finely constructed as this. The performer stands at the pinnacle of his profession, one who demonstrates mastery of the instrument and intimate understanding of the music. The selections are interesting, fresh and never boring. There is delight in the listening from beginning to end. Mr. Russell is quite simply astonishing as he unerringly takes the listener on a journey of unalloyed beauty. This is a disc you will relish again and again. If you love the guitar, you must have it.
A Wonderful CD!.......2005-02-17
A wonderful, beautiful CD. The fact that the music is all inter-related creates a beautiful atmosphere while listening. I know enough to know that this type of artistic endeavor is a collaboration; so kudos to David Russell, producer Rosalind Ilett and engineer Thomas Knab! I understand that this team has worked on many of David Russell's amazing recordings.

Un disco de bellezas andinas sonoras.......2000-05-08
Un disco no editado en Chile, aquí en el año 2000, ojalá lo hagán pronto. Es una obra excelente de recopilación y muestreo de la América Andina, además de escuchar la creación de Horacio Durán y Pedro Villagra, y el último trabajo junto al grupo de José Seves, la voz inconfundible de los Inti durante muchos años.
Yo tambien quisiera ser como el duraznito.......1999-05-07
Es curioso, he visto a Quilapayun incontables veces cuando vivia en la Españas pero tuve que venirme a los EEUU para poder disfrutar al fin de la musica en vivo de Inti-Illimani, Fue en el 94 cuando presentaron Andadas y ahora en nov 98 cuando presentaron este otro trabajo, Lejania. Fue ambas veces en UCSD y ambas veces fue memorable. Lejania, como cualquier otro trabajo de Inti-Illimani es oro puro. Totalmente recomendado para los muchos infelices que, como yo, seguimos luchando por que vuestro continente y esa España que tanto me duele vivan algun dia felices. Gracias por tantos buenos momentos.
EXELENTE PRODUCCION.......1999-03-31
INTI-ILLIMANI ES UN GRUPO AL QUE RECUERDO MUCHO EN ECUADOR EN ESPECIAL TODA LA VIVENCIA COMPARTIDA EN LOS AÑOS 1984-1986 CUANDO JUNTO A MI CONJUNTO MUSICAL, ILUMAN, VIAJAMOS EN GIRA POR VARIAS PROVINCIAS DE MI PAIS. QUIERO A LA DISTANCIA DAR UN SALUDO MUY ESPECIAL A MIS TAN RECORADOS AMIGOS, MAX, HORACIO, JORGE, ETC.

A legendary bolero singer at his very best........2005-11-16
This was Vicentico's second album with Bobby Valentin's orchestra and it features such ever-beautiful boleros as "Experiencia", "Lo Vivido", "Anoche" and the title track as sung by one of the all-time greatest bolero singers. Vicentico's emotive and tender voice coupled with a silky-smooth delivery and near-perfect phrasing earned him the "Elastic Voice of Cuba" title and this gorgeous CD is among his most enjoyable works.
