TRADITIONAL MUSIC OF PERU, VOL. 1 - FESTIVALS OF CUSCO

Music of religious festivals is one of the richest and most important types of musical expression in the Andes. These 1989 recordings from the Peruvian Archives of Traditional Andean Music present lively music of the religious festivals in the Cusco region. Devotees perform with flutes and drums, harps and violins, accordions, brass bands, and voices. Filled with the sounds of celebration and the fervor of the religious occasions, the performances present Andean music in its contemporary religious setting. 26 tracks.
