The Rough Guide to the Music of the Andes: Bolivia

Product Description
Framed by snow-capped peaks, La Paz is the largest city of landlocked Bolivia and the strength of the indigenous culture makes it an ideal home for the country’s music industry. Bolivia is the birthplace of the conjunto folklórico – a modern marriage of European string instruments and Andean flutes – and home to the rich musical wealth of nueva canción, taquirari and the striking rhythms of the Bolivian Carnival. Featuring many tracks sourced from local companies, The Rough Guide To The Music Of The Andes: Bolivia places the original architects of the Bolivian sound alongside the modern artists of today.

Addicting beats and new Andean sounds.......2003-10-28

Rough Guides billed this disc as going "beyond panpipes and ponchos", meaning they wanted it to be a sampler of some of the broader musical traditions of the Andes instead of just another "Andean flute music" CD. There's still a lot of pretty typical stuff here, but I guarantee you won't regret finding a copy of this disc. The beats are really addicting!

The best tracks are Ernesto Cavour's "Leño Verde", Jenny Cárdenas's "Jallalla", and "Mi querido Potosí", which are also the most "European" tracks on the CD, incorporating a bandoneón and a piano in addition to the guitar. If you're a fan of the original Buena Vista Social Club CD, you'll recognize that amazing opening song, "Chan Chan", in an Andean variation ("Hacha"), performed by the group Inti-Illiman. Some other notable tracks are Sukay's "Concepción", an impressive improvisation for guitar, and "Te recuerdo Amanda", by the Chilean singer and songwriter Victor Jara. This last track was recorded back at the beginning of the 1970s, just a few years before Jara was killed on the first September 11 (September 11, 1973), when Pinochet, Kissinger, and other American-sponsored terrorists had him tortured to death in Santiago's football stadium, then machine-gunned. Te recordamos.

Great disc. Five stars.

Amazing CD!.......2001-07-28

One of my favorite CD's. Not a single bad track on this one. A great introduction to a wonderful tapestry of sounds and culture.
