Even if you don't know Spanish you will become instantly addicted to the lyrical sounds of the music of Inti-Illimani. It is enchanting! And if you do understand Spanish you will be deeply moved by the lyrics. The music is even more powerful to those who have lived in or visited Chile.

Much of this involves complex classical guitar pieces, including beautful work from classical guitarist John Williams of John Williams - The Seville Concert / John Williams, Paco Pena, Andres Segovia and Together Again/ Julian Bream & John Williams and the particiaption of Paco Pena of the aforementioned disk, who presents here his own composition La Calahorra.

Even with this strong European and Spanish influence of the highest, most classical and gentle variety, Inti Illimani never leaves the blessed earth of their birth, with the continual gentle and soothing and challenging presence of the Andean folklore instruments such as the zamponas, the quena and the charango. One song in particular presents in a beautiful soft context the pain of their Chilean nation after the Nixon-Kissinger overthrow of their democratically elected president Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973 and the subsequent decades of terrorism under the brutal military dictatorship of Pinochet, which produced the massacre, murder, torture, disappearance and exile of hundreds of thousands of Chileans, including Inti Illimani itself, warned by the brutal torture, dismemberment and death of fellow musician Victor Jara by the bloody Pinochet police.

We have here therefore a plaintiff and very elaborate music of great gentility and depth, complexity and immense prodigious talent, mainly composed by band member Horacio Slainas, with the participation of the other musicians mentioned above.

I used to buy Inti's LPs when I was 12 and I was schooling in Italy.

It still remains one of my favourite musical groups of all time.

Fragments of a Dream is, simply put, their masterwork, the one where Horacio Salinas reaches the greatest heights of inspiration in a blend I would call, at times, "modern Latin American baroque".

It starts with a piece inspired by my fatherland's folk music, Sardegna, and ends with a dismantling-cum-reconstruction of the principle of the dance worthy of any great classical composer. Brilliant

Beautiful Latin American music, from Chile and the Andean region.

Se me saltaron las lagrimas escuchando En Libertad (son ya demasiados años fuera de mi tierra). Inti-Illimani buceando en sus raices hispanas, Inti-Illimani haciendo lo que saben hacer como pocos grupos en estos dias: crear musica con raices, de esa que te inunda el corazon de tristeza, de alegria, de melancolia, de nostalgia, de deseos de vivir.
