about this product...
Framed by snow-capped peaks, La Paz is the
largest city of landlocked Bolivia and the strength of the
indigenous culture makes it an ideal home for the country’s
music industry. Bolivia is the birthplace of the conjunto
folklórico – a modern marriage of European string
instruments and Andean flutes – and home to the rich
musical wealth of nueva canción, taquirari and the
striking rhythms of the Bolivian Carnival. Featuring many
tracks sourced from local companies, The Rough Guide To The
Music Of The Andes: Bolivia places the original architects
of the Bolivian sound alongside the modern artists of today.
