Album Notes & Community Reviews

Exiled in Argentina following the Chilean military coup, Los Jaivas delivered their absolute magnum opus of indigenous fusion, universally known as 'El Indio'. The album brilliantly marries highly complex, remarkably epic progressive rock structures with intensely passionate, deeply rhythmic traditional Andean folklore, resulting in a fiercely melodic, wonderfully poetic cultural landmark.
