The sounds heard in the samples are representative of the folkloric panamenian music. It sounds in the best tradition of the Azuero peninsula. Is a jewell for anybody interested in authentic sounds and interpretation from the Republic of Panama. The voices sound as the tradition recommends. The instruments (percussion and melodic) are really played in the most pure and traditional styles from that country, where I was born.

I am Panamanian- born and raised in the U.S. I've traveled to Panama and to the interior and heard traditional tipico music. When I purchased this I expected accordians and tipico style music. This is completely different- very ecelectic and unique at once. Some songs sound almost celtic, others African influenced and still others have a distinct Native sound. There are cries, drums, and strings trancending you to the Azuero Pennisula of Panama. Buy this CD if you want to experience the unique and beautiful folkloric music Panama has to offer!

This CD trully presents the authentic music from Panama. I am a panamenian and absolutely LOVE this CD!

I when back to being a little girl..running in chase of birds and buterflies...dipping my feet on the cool water of a "quabra.." Oh my wonderful country with its beautiful, pure music..I feel so proud of our traditions, our folklore..if I could have only learned to appreciate you when I was there, but it takes distance to be able to see your wonders.."quiza fuiste tan chica para que yo pudiera llevarte toda entera dentro del corazon"

This music is bringing me memories back when I was only a kid, in the summer I spent school vacation time in the Panama country side and I heard this music before. I'm 58 now but with this music I feel like a 8 years old kid. I'm very pleased with this wonderful and original Panama's folclore music.

I am a Peace Corps volunteer that has been living in Panama for the last year, and I have to say that this is definitely representative of the sound and spirit of Panamanian music. If you are looking for the flavor of panamanian tipico complete with salomars, this is it!

I am panamanian from Chiriqui, but live in California now. I danced with one of the best dance Academies in the country for almost 12 years, allowing me to represent Panama nationally and internationally!!! The music in this CD is just as good as the music I have danced when I was a dancer. I also going to use it to open a little academy here in Los Angeles and I will use it for my dancers and coreographies. Thanks for the author who made this...
