Album Notes & Community Reviews
Setting Pablo Neruda's legendary poetry to music, Chilean band Los Jaivas achieved a magnificent, incredibly epic synthesis of progressive rock and traditional Andean instrumentation. 'Alturas de Machu Pichu' beautifully integrates quenas and zampo帽as with soaring electric guitars and complex synthesizers, resulting in a profoundly poetic, atmospheric, and highly passionate masterpiece of Latin American rock.
