Ensemble Achalay 5

 



ENSEMBLE ACHALAY
MUSIQUE DES ANDES N°5
 
MUSIC OF THE ANDES N°5

Disques BAM, 1972 ?,  LD 5799

This band was founded in 1958 by Argentinian kena player and composer Ricardo Galeazzi. It is as old as Los Incas maybe even older. Argentina was the place were that kind of  music was created from traditional material and interpreted from an urban point of view. Los Pampas is another band along with Los Calchakis and Los Incas with Argentinian roots. Galeazzi plays Venezuelan tunes on his kena and two track with the accordion. They play pasillo, cueca, joropo, marinera etc...
Unfortunately the LP is not in very good shape again after hours of use ...
Text in French only.
