5.0 out of 5 stars Among the Best: Andean Folk Group, October 28, 2009

This review is from: Folklore De Bolivia (Audio CD)

Yet another Andean panpipe group? Yes, there are a large number of ensembles from Peru, Bolivia, and some from Ecuador and Chile that specialize in traditional panpipe music that originated with the Quechuas and Aymaras and other native peoples of the region. With so many choices, why consider Los Rupay? First, the seven-member group arranges the songs very well and their performance is excellent, truly top notch professional. Second, their instruments, while traditional, are more extensive, with the kena open-notched and the pinquillo and tarka end-blown flutes, in addition to the usual zampoña panpipes, plus large bombo and smaller wankara drums. Other instruments came after the Spanish invasion: the guitar and the native's own invention, the famous charango, with its armadillo carapace body. Thus, this is no field recording. Although the music is derived from folk sources, it is contemporary and urban. The album is a reissue of a 1994 recording, and the enclosed booklet provides no information on the tracks. Nonetheless, the recording has verve and joy and is among the best in my Andean collection. Good cheer!
