Album Notes & Community Reviews

The pioneering Chilean ethnomusicologist and artist continues her exhaustive curation of rural, indigenous, and traditional music forms from across her nation. Accompanying herself on guitar and traditional percussion, her intense, deeply earthy vocal performances convey centuries of unvarnished cultural history. The recordings are universally acknowledged as the foundational bedrock of the Latin American folk revival.
