LOS INCAS 71
Festival, 1971, FLDX 517
One of the oldest latino-american bands in Europe, Los Incas was created by Jorge Milchberg aka "El Inca" in 1956 along with fellow Argentinians Ricardo Galeazzi and Carlos Benn-Pott.
They were quite prolific in the sixties and seventies when ''latino'' genre was fashionable in France in particular.
Their approach to South-American music was both locally rooted and reworked. They used some field recordings published by Folkways for example in the forties and fifties but with some arragements, nice ones most of the time. They composed a lot as well. Here each track is attributed to El Inca (except for one to Benn-Pott) but I believe he put his signature as an arranger mostly. Either compositions or traditional all the tunes are quite nice.
