Best of EARLY Illapu

"This is the best of EARLY Illapu. The songs on this album are mostly older, more traditional Andean songs. It is quite different from their later recordings which have a much more mature and unique sound such as "En Estos Dias" and "Morena Esperanza." This is not the very best of Illapu, but it does have some classics such as "Candombe Para Jose." I own it because it is a good alternative to buying all of their earlier albums. For more traditional Andean music I would prefer the group, Kollahuara or Quilapayun. Illapu's greatest is their more modern fusion that uses many elements and instruments of Andean music along with sax, electric bass, and other more modern instruments. Also, their more recent works are much deeper lyrically and musically and have more layers of vocal harmony and instrumentation."
