This review is from: Inti-Illimani (Audio CD)
I think this is about their fifth record, recorded in 1969, along with four extra songs from records made in 68 and a live cut from a festival in '73. It features traditional songs from Chile, Bolivia and Ecuador-(those probably brought by Max Berru) along with compositions by several other folk musicians and only one piece (an instrumental) by the band. While some of the cuts may seem a bit antiquated now, the political pieces earned the band a 15 year exile from Chile by Nixon's boyfriend Pinochet, and still mean something in a world that has not changed as much as they and we would have hoped. This is not my favorite Inti Illimani album but it has been on my 5 disc changer for most of the month since i got it and shows no sign of collecting dust soon. I'm grateful that they made it for us. - den belillo
