Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as both a performer and an ethnomusicologist, the legendary folklorist dedicates this volume entirely to the cueca, Chile's national dance. The stripped-down acoustic performances and informative spoken introductions served to legitimize and preserve rural indigenous traditions for modern audiences.
