Album Review:
– General Description: repetitive voices with nasally high male voices w/harmonica at times – but other than that, it's very specialized folk music, you only need to play one track and you've basically played them all; (IMHO, almost on par for keeping your sanity while Alvin and The Chipmunks is played on a long car ride with five children under 6 constantly screaming and enjoying their own noise in the foreground.)
– FCC Compliant: YES
– Recommended Tracks: none
– Track Reviews:
1. (1:49) Chinkashka (Perdido "Lost") - chattering and flutes starting up, pedal lyric underneath vocal calling that becomes back and forth, flutes playing pedal motive
2. (2:09) Arias Pampa (Valle Arias "Arias Valley") - seesaw of limited flute sound, men sounding like they are working and using this to keep a steady pace
3. (1:37) Llaz Tuaz (Llaz tuaz "Llaz Tuaz")
4-29 () Hatun Puncha - harmonica and whistling joins the monotony; plus men trying to sound like women
30. (1:38) Kotama Ñan (Camino de Kotama "Kotama Path")
31. (1:42) Kotama Wayra (Viento de Kotama "Kotama Wind")
32. (3:41) Yaku Taki (Canción de agua "Water Song")
33. (1:54) Kashna Kotama (Así Kotama "This is Kotama")
34. (2:19) Ñawi Mayllay (Lavado de cara "The Face Washing")
35. (2:45) Puchka paskachik (Limandero "Umbrella Swift")
36. (2:28) Bonus Track: Yaku Chaka (Puente del rio "River Bridge")
