A musical setting for the unique beauty of the South American panpipes known as the Antara. Oscar Reynolds is a multi-instrumentalist who leads a gathering of the "best South American musicians in the San Francisco Bay Area: Enrique Coria of David Grisman's Quintet on guitar, Jose Luis Reynolds on charango, and Fernando de San Jinez, Lalo Izquierdo and Raul Ramirez on percussion. Also featureing Flamenco guitarist Choscales, hailed as one of the best flamenco puro players in North America" by guitar luminary Jesse Cook."
Oscar Reynolds writes in Spanish in the liner notes (this is a translation): "River of Light represens my childhood because I grew up near a river, and I clearly remember that I was always playing with the water, stones and sand. The river to me is a source of love, life and energy, always moving, always flowing, with a deep clarity that goes further than imagination. The fresh crystalline waters of the river, together with the energy of light, illuminates the lives of everyone who lives on earth. My music is a flow of melodies that glide along like a river of light. A river tha was once part of my childhood, now being born again."
