This superb compilation runs from the ceremonial music of isolated mountain herding villages to the mountain-influenced popular music of industrial Lima. The high quality recording captures flutes, panpipes, drums, brass bands and the beautiful interlocking voices of Peruvian music. Recorded, compiled, and annotated by film maker and musician John Cohen, this release is still considered the best anthology of Peruvian Andean music ever issued. Originally issued as a double album in 1966 (see Vol. 2), this reissue includes over 15 minutes of new selections and revised notes. "...[a] treasure...a mind-boggling selection of Peruvian music...from riotous village bands to Quechua Masses [and] swinging huaynos...Cohen's notes are enviably superb..." -- Folk Roots
