Great Stuff
These are lovely and haunting selections....some new, some very old. I received it as a Christmas gift and had never heard much Andean music and didn't know much about these musicians but it is really wonderful and I find myself listening to it again and again. It is an interesting combination of wooden pan flutes, strings and percussion....give it a listen...

Inkhay
Excellent collection of andean music. While all other Amazon customer reviews single out Pepe Santana who is responsible for the wind instruments and some of the rhythm I would like to pay tribute to Atahualpa Poalasin whose harp playing on this album is phenomenal. Note that other recordings by this fine artist are also available from Amazon and others but not under the name "Inkhay" but rather his own name. Be advised that the first name "Atahualpa" is somewhat common among latin american recording artists so be sure you are ordering the works of the harpist and not the guitarist etc.

Superb recording of tranditional Andean music.
This recording of traditional Andean music is among the best I've found available on CD. Inkhay's musicians reveal a deep knowledge of the different styles and traditions of pre-colombian and mestizo music of Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. The music is beautiful, mournful, and exuberant. I especially recommend this CD to native Andeans who are looking for their music played in the authentic style. I wish Pepe Santana and Inkhay recorded their performances more often, as Andean music of this quality is hard to find.
