Neither Mexico nor Paraguay are in the Andes.......2007-03-21

The blurb inside starts "The Aztec empire and its many highly developed subject populations ..." However, the Aztecs were in Mexico and northern Central America, and had nothing to do with either the Andes or this CD.

The music (at least the first dozen tracks) is basicly Paraguayan harp music transferred to quena and charrango. Even El Condor Pasa is done in that style. Some of the last 10 tracks I won't make any bets where they came from, altho it's possible some are from Bolivia, particularly eastern Bolivia.

I suspect this CD (no date, no author, no musician, no composer listed) is comprised of two unnamed LPs. However, the entire track list matches 'Los Caballeros / Flute Music Of The Andes' (2006) and also 'Los Craneos, Juan Campolargo Ensemble / Flute Music Of The Andes' (no date) - from Gracenote's database of CD tracklists (formerly cddb). My guess is the latter is more likely where it came from.

(If you add two seconds between each track, it will be "seen" as a different CD by cddb because the total length and length of each track are different.)

However, speaking as someone who has a collection of around 400 Andean CDs (admittedly leaning toward northern Ecuador), I wouldn't really call it Andean music. If you like it, try collecting some Paraguayan harp music.

Awesome Andean Music!.......2007-03-18

Growing up in Chile, the music of the Andes was always in the background. This collection of songs takes me home. You can feel the wind, the chill, hear the birds, imagine the rain in these songs. Fantastic CD. Highly recommended.

ALL YOU WILL EVER NEED ON YOUR JOURNEY.......2006-10-15

Okay, so Inti Illimani and WAyanay and INca SOn and the rest are like REALLY GREAT, but this is all you ever need

In fact, track nine Vasija de barro, is everything you ever want to hear for eternity

And even better if you know the words, and the guitar chords and hook. (pretty much Em, B7, Em, G, B7, Em, until the chorus goes to C, and then the cool guitar hook around the Em scale like HEndrix did)

This album really has just about every Inca song you need, including track nine it has Valicha and El Condor Pasa (yes, Paul Simon stole that one and put real dumb ENglish words to it, but here all three movements are included)

A fairly stripped down group of quena, bass, charango and drums, but that's all you need. All anonymous and the worst liner notes ever (calling it AZTEC music- please this is not MEXICO, dude) and no vocals except a few praises for fat hens and other extemporaneous rare exclamations, but nothing to get in the way. THis has the full spectrum of rhythms beats and traditions of Peru, BOlivia (except Zaya and the real urban stuff that would call for sax or trumpet, etc.) and Ecuador, but once again you have nothing but the accurate titles to go by.

Really, this is the only one you need, and it is cheap for being what this music always was: anonymous!

And the best thing is there are no cheesy Zamphir style remakes of American popular music of the seventies and eighties! NO KANSAS!

It's the entire Inca rainbow on one disc. Get it! be healed!

Andean Flute Variety.......2006-07-09

I expected to get a CD of Andean flute music, which I greatly enjoyed hearing on local radio in South America. And this CD delivered! I don't listen to this CD as often as I expected to, probably owing to that it is a collection of different styles and formats rather than a continuous listening format.

I recommend this CD 4 out of 5 stars.

wonderful.......2004-01-17

The compositions herein are comparable to Beethoven in terms of their ability to evoke emotion. However, unlike Beethoven, they are simple and sublime and retain a close connection to nature that is characteristic of all Native American music. I especially like track #15 with its grave and intricate beauty. This is now my favorite song.

Transported.......2000-09-07

Prepare to be transported to the Andes when you listen to this CD. The blend of styles, instruments (traditional & modern) & muscians culminate in a journey for your mind to the Andes. I could feel the crisp thin air as I traveled through Ecuador, Peru, Chile & Bolivia on the wings of each song.

If you want to be transported too. Get this CD

Absolutely Excellent.......1999-09-20

I find this CD to be very relaxing and inspiring. I commonly use it as background music for creating artwork. In my opinion "Andean Legacy" belongs in the collection of ALL Andean music enthusiasts.

Another, haunting kind of "mountain music".......1998-11-23

Being born and raised in Applachia, I was struck by the strong, unexpected parallels between the songs included on this CD and the traditional Bluegrass and Celtic musical traditions I grew up with. Substitute fiddle or hammered dulcimer for flute, and the music of the Andean mountains seems suddenly familiar, as though mountain cultures separated by miles have found a common musical space to inhabit. I have found this CD excellent for meditation and as a background for yoga.

Polished, organized variances of contemporary Andean Music.......1998-08-03

Personally I do not enjoy what seems to be "old, traditional" Andean Music for long periods of time. I find I like a more contemporary, upbeat, arrangement of the use of flutes, churangos, etc. Overall I have enjoyed ANDEAN LEGACY but I do not feel its a pure Andean Music CD. This CD presents Andean music and musical instruments in a contemporary presentation. The CD even has a bit of country music flavor on several songs for those who like that venue. For a person who wants to experience Andean Music this CD provides nice variety and insight what contemporary Andean Music is like. For the person who has CD's on Andean Music, I feel, ANDEAN LEGACY would be a nice enhancement.

Good Andean Music.......2007-07-29

I've had this music on tape for years and just love it. Now I have it on CD and there is even more to love.

nothing to do with Andes.......2005-12-01

I am a big fan of Andean music.
Music on this CD is nice but has nothing to do with the Andes, it is more Paraguaian...

Different Flute, Guitar and Harp of the Andes?.......2000-01-13

I have an audio tape of this same title on the Olympic Records label by Los Cranos. It's wonderful; very ethnic, but I think it has different selections than this one. Don't confuse the two.

pretty!.......1999-11-17

ALL OF MY LIVE I LIKE THIS MUSIC...I MEAN THIS MUSIC IS CELESTIAL....ALL OF THE TIME...THIS MUSIC IS SPECIAL....IT'S MUSIC FROM THE LORD....CELESTIAL...!

Very soothing, inspiring background music.......1998-05-11

"Background music" isn't much of a compliment, I know, but I really do recommend this CD. It calms me down and puts me back into a sunny mood. Great for driving in bad road conditions or doing an icky task. My husband says of folk music that it's really all the same tune, only started at different places and played at different speeds (he's kidding). In this case, its true (for me). I can't tell one track from another, but thank goodness it's a song I like!
