for the Ethnomusicologist, not the casual "World Music fan".......2004-02-19

Most of the songs were recorded in mountain villages in 1964. I was hoping for more music from dedicated musicians. There are a couple of songs copied from 45s bought in an Indian market in Lima, but even these are very rough and raw. Perhaps there's material here for a Moby of Peruvian music, but its not for the average consumer's ears. One "Song of Marraige," sung by a young girl, was included on the Voyager spacecraft as one the of the "Sounds of Earth." The lyric in the linear note translates it as a bitter, but humorous, complaint of a girl who is tricked into attending her own wedding.
