From folk music played on Andean pipes to sophisticated songs with a late night, café feel, this CD is a wonderful mix of sounds, and a fine tribute to the musical diversity of Bolivia. I enjoyed it all. Read the notes for more on music/instruments/performers.
*1. Gorgeous, relaxed love song w/husky female vox. Delicious!
*2. Conjunto folklorico for pipes/guitars/vox. Nice energy.
3. Relaxed & swaying w/warm female vox, good work from band.
4. Instrumental on the charango (small guitar). Mid/uptempo.
5. Warm & bright carnival dance. Midtempo, catchy.
*6. Charango, high female vox, chorus. Midtempo, kinda cool.
7. Low key folklorico w/nice strings/male vocals.
8. Pipes/female voices. Lively & sweet.
9. Slow & elegant folk dance for strings/female vocalist.
*10. Midtempo vox/guitar/flute then a brass band. Interesting.
11. Pipes/string/perc & female vocals. Midtempo folk dance.
*12. Fun & lively conjunto folklorico w/soaring male vox.
*13. Strings, whistling, then the band joins in. Uptempo.
14. Relaxed instrumental for strings/perc/pipes. Nice.
15. Very quiet beginning. Just guitar. Vox at 1:30. Slow, pretty.
16. Instrumental medley for guitar. Mostly midtempo. Well done.
