If you have any interest in this style of music, BUY THIS CD! I own several in this genre and despite its relatively low price, this one is still the best. Beautiful harp/flute melodies are accompanied by Spanish/Quechua vocals; the tone is lively, yet mournful at the same time, very powerful combination. My only complaint is that the liner notes are limited to a short history of Andean music--there is no commentary on any of the individual songs, and no credit is given to the very talented musicians.

I picked this up (cheap) expecting it to be fairly mediocre. To my amazement, it's a great CD. I suspect it is a re-release (which is legal) of a name-group CD, however, unlike a couple of other such CDs, I've not stumbled upon a probably source. If you like Andean music and don't have it, GET IT!! If you don't know Andean music, this is an excellent place to start.

This CD has 5 star music for the majority of it's tracks, the one downside is that it does not have a version of El Condor Pasa. However, I am a collector of World Folk Music and Andes music inparticular, and this is overall my favourite Andes flute CD.
