Customer Reviews

Chilean classics of the Nueva Cancion style
A pleasant mixture of songs composed by Victor Jara, Violeta Parra, Horacio Salinas, the most prominent musicians from the beginning of the Nueva Cancion movement in Chile. Exquisite guitar playing by Rodrigo Alvarado and the clear voice of Maria Meija make this CD a pleasure. Concentrating on a few instruments - guitar, bombo drum and voice - make for a very clear, transparent sound.

Great CD!
I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed this CD! It was a risky purchase since I didn't recognize the artists, but it was definitely worth it. All of the songs on South America:Chile are excellent. The songs I enjoyed the most were Alturas, Toro Mata, La Palmatoria, and both Violeta Parra songs. I agree completely with the other review of this CD - Mejia's voice is wonderful. I highly recommend this CD for all Chilean music lovers!
