I had never heard of Los Indios Tabajaras, but I love guitar music. After reading everyone's reviews and listening to song samples, I purchased "Serie Platino: 20 Exitos" and "Maria Elena/Always in My Heart." After listening to these albums, I decided to purchase "Best of Los Indios Tabajaras." I love them all, and although many of the songs are repeated on the other albums, I can't get enough of all three of these albums.
--- Serie Platino: 20 Exitos: This album is all instrumental and very relaxing, beautiful music, and at this low price, it is a real bargain. If you are looking for total relaxation - this is the album for you. Bare bones CD insert - no additional information.
--- Maria Elena/Always in My Heart: This album makes my list of favorites. It is a mix of singing and instrumental. Some songs are sweet and soothing, others are much livelier. If you want to experience a variety of music - this is the album for you. Also, the CD insert gives interesting background information on "Los Indios Tabajaras."
--- Best of Los Indios Tabajaras ($35.99): I debated about the price, but I have no regrets. My favorite songs on this album are "El Condor Pasa", "Green Eyes", and "Angelitos Negros." For your information, the CD insert lists the songs in both English and Japanese; however, the rest of the insert is in Japanese.

I purchased one of each of the albums that you are showing. There are of course a lot of duplicates but it simply doesn't matter as all the songs are so great. I've had them about a month and I've almost worn them out. I have them in my car, my office and home. They've been around a long time and bring back such pleasant memories. Anyone that enjoys good guitar music will certainly enjoy this and all the other. Thanks for making them available.

Los Indios Tabajaras recorded around 48 albums, mostly on the RCA label-but this one is a rare Japanese release only recently available in the USA. These are all different recordings of even their familiar hits, and there are some interesting variations on these versions. Antenor Lima passed away in the late 90s; and sadly Nato Lima recently passed away in NYC at 91 years old. Los Indios were not only classical guitar innovators with their incredible never-before-heard arrangements; but they were also playing "World Music" before there was even a name for it!
In recent years their music has been rediscovered by fans of retro exotica, lounge music, and space-age bachelor pad chic; as well as serious students and collectors of classical guitar recordings and arrangements.
This is one of the few albums they recorded in Japan, and a great album, at that...relaxing and romantic.

Just listen to it. It will tell you all you need to know. I searched
forever for this album. Again, Amazon saves the day. I have sent this
album to a lot of my friends to enjoy. Very pretty music. Get it.
Guitars - but this is soothing music - not rock.

I enjoyed & continue to do so this CD.It was expensive but then you get what you pay for, this one I listened to before I bought it.

The CD was fine, but I was surprised to see the foreign language displayed
on the list of songs. It sounded fine.

A really chill CD, The Best of Los Indios Tabajares, a peruvian duo thats all instrumental on this particular CD. I believe this is the must have because it captures such a wide range of their music. The downside is the price. I paid 37 dollars for it. Actually my Dad recommended them to me. I had never heard of them before, but somehow the music came back to me. My Dad used to play the LP in the house when I was a kid. Its was refreshing to finally be able to have this great music on CD, forever!!

I have heard different types of Peruvian music which is more erratic. Los Indios Tabajares are very melodic in all their songs. Its the kind of music to CHILL TO...They also have up-beat songs...probably about 50/50 up-beat and slower stuff...but all CHILL!!

I have found this product for cheaper than 37 dollars. I think i saw it for 26 somewhere, but I would beware those web sites that look shady.

I used to listen to grunge music and classic rock, but my tastes are expanding to other international styles. I think the guitar style will impress the practicing guitarist. Much like jazz uses the off-notes to add to the intensity of their music, the Los Indios guitar relies on this silence to really relax the listener and create a very sensual and dreamy environment. Sorry I can't refer to any songs. I just play the CD and listen to the whole thing. One of the most famous songs is Marie Elena, so if you buy a disc, you might want to make sure that song is on. Like I said, I don't know the names of other songs, but this CD really captures a unique style. Enjoy it everybody!!!

I would like to listen to the songs o n this album. How can i get to listen to it? Julia Reid
