CD Reviews

Wide appeal Andean Music
Carlos Romero | South Carolina, USA | 09/23/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Andean Music by its very nature and because of the many cultures that call it is own; it is rendered in a large number of styles some of which have a very narrow appeal. Urubamba's arrangements and use of native instruments are very refined and intended to reach an audience that is not necessarily familiar with Andean music. My family owned the vinyl record of Urubamba in the 1970's and it was through them that I became familiar with this type of music. Over the past decades I came to own a large number of recordings of Andean music by many different groups from many countries and I still consider Urubamba's some of the best.



If you are not familiar with Andean music and you are looking for a first sample, you will find in Urubamba's recording a beautiful music that sounds almost like the wind on the mountains performed with impeccable technique.



If you are already familiar with Andean music, do not miss this record, it marks a milestone in the history of this gender."
It's all good.

"Bright and gemlike, this album has no soft spot. Remember back in the old days when you could listen to an album without skipping tracks?

Urubamba is the group responsible for the instrumentation on Simon and Garfunkel's 'El Condor Pasa'. The musicianship, melodies, and mood make other groups of the genre seem unbalanced: this is the real deal.

Our family had the LP of this album, and we've been missing it for years. Odds are good you'll enjoy it too."
Finally!

"Finally available in CD! Finally we can put the digitized MP3 (complete with the pops and scratches) of our LP to rest.



Hauntingly beautiful, evocative, ineffable."
