Mountain Music of Peru, Vol. 1

by SOUTH AMERICAN

Overview

What makes a satisfactory national compilation is obviously to some extent a question of ideology. This one is superb as an overview and introduction. It ranges from shepherd pipe, solo voice, and carnival music, to popular huaynos from the towns. Unlike the plethora of middle-class groups with a political agenda that beclutter the field, this one does music that is real and superb, as are John Cohen's notes. Parts were released in 1966, but 15 minutes' worth has been added for this re-release. (68:17) ~ John Storm Roberts
