And certainly it's the dances that offer the most musical interest here, played by bands of all sizes and instrumental variations. "Negros" is especially fascinating for its mix of clarinet and saxophone, although, on the evidence presented here, the clarinet found great popularity as an instrument with bands in this area of Peru. But you can also hear string bands and the lovely "Pastoras," sung by a mini-choir of five girls accompanied by two guitars. No one's going to say this is for a mass audience, but as an ethnomusicological document, it's invaluable, recording traditions that have roots deep in Peru's history -- although how much longer they might survive in the modern world is anyone's guess. ~ Chris Nickson Format: CD (1 Disc); Stereo Country: USA Studio/Live: Studio Release Date: 1 November, 2002 Label: ADA [Wea 1-Stop Account] Dimensions: 12.8 x 14.7 x 1 centimeters (0.11 kg)
