FOLK MUSIC FROM PERU (CENTRE AND SOUTH)
Unpublished audio documents collected and recorded in Peru by D. Rothstein
David Rothstein was a Frenchman who travelled in Peru between July and September 1974. He produced this album himself as well as the distribution. This is a recording in the field type of album in order to present the ''real'' music of Peru played by ordinary people young and old. The information are minimal about those people. Some tracks are more interesting like track A3 with a song in quechua and a ''pampa piano'' which is a harmonium with bellows operated by the musician's feet or the tracks with some students of the university of Ayacucho. The tracks with the peruvian harp are nice too.
My first real instrument was the kena at the end of the 60's and I liked this kind of album as well as those made by famous bands (Los Incas, Los Calchakis ...). So this blog is a bit like a trip to memory lane for me.
Thank You for this record! It's a jewel! I was one month in Peru two years ago and these tunes sound very familiar.
ReplyDeleteLucky you ! Peru is a place I'd like to go to but I think it's a bit late now... Glad you enjoy this kind of music; I'll try to find other LPs like this one but you can listen to tow other items posted earlier on the 10th of May and the 23rd of May.
