5.0 out of 5 stars The best collection you can buy!!, September 21, 2004

This review is from: Music of the Andes (Audio CD)

This is an outstanding selection of songs from some of the best artists of this genre. The songs by Inti-illimani are excellent, with their characteristically unique, yet traditional, arrangements. The other artists were new to me, but give a broad range of musical styles, all very professionally performed and recorded. All of the music has a very traditional base and sound (not like some of the cheesy recordings you find in the mall). The liner notes provide and informative history of each of the groups.

If you are looking for a good starter album of South American music, this is it. Absolutely no complaints with this purchase!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Authentic Pre-Colombian Wind Instrumentals, October 12, 2009

This review is from: Music of the Andes (Audio CD)

This type of music is so unique and beautiful that it makes a great addition to any CD music collection in my opinion. Pre-Colombian wind instruments aren't normally incorporated into other music, except for rare instances. Even when they are, they are usually Americanized by being made more upbeat than the genuine article.

This CD includes many beautiful songs including Flight of the Condor. But unlike the versions most of us grew up with, this authentic music is far more haunting and less upbeat. That makes it a bit more complex but no less beautiful.
