Format: Audio CD
This disc has some of the most beatiful folk songs I'veever heard. There's a certain haunting sadness to them which can make a grown man weep (I almost did last night). There's a few duds on here too but the gems make it worthwhile. Sweeeet!

Format: Audio CD
Most of the songs were recorded in mountain villages in 1964. I was hoping for more music from dedicated musicians. There are a couple of songs copied from 45s bought in an Indian market in Lima, but even these are very rough and raw. Perhaps there's material here for a Moby of Peruvian music, but its not for the average consumer's ears. One "Song of Marraige," sung by a young girl, was included on the Voyager spacecraft as one the of the "Sounds of Earth." The lyric in the linear note translates it as a bitter, but humorous, complaint of a girl who is tricked into attending her own wedding.
