Peru - Fiestas Music of the High Andes

The music was recorded in June and July 1968 and was originally released in 1972. Some songs feature only two flutes playing together all the way to a 15 piece brass band playing festival music. There's some remarkable music here that helps dispel much of the panpipe myth about Andean music -- simply listen to "Marcha Akuchimay," where mandolin rings over a pair of guitars, or the song "Puru Purucha." The harp playing is exquisite (it should be noted that many of the musicians here also appear on Kingdom of the Sun: The Inca Heritage), as is the guitar solo "Vilcas Plazapi," played in a pentatonic style that's unusual for the region. The real meat comes at the end of the disc, however, first with "Chuschi," recordings made at a fiesta in the village of the same name.
