ALTURAS DE MACHU PICCHU

For me the perfect music album of folk rock prog... nothing left and nothing overdone here... each song very different, with their own theme... lyrics are very powerfull (must read it!) and the music, a very amazing dialog between rock and folk instruments and melodies... simple passages and also very complex lines... and most importat... Los Jaivas didn't try to sound like nobody but themselves... They invented a form to play music... they search for pentatonic scales based on original folky tunes of south america... they didn't play rock rythms, but the use rock instruments in a very particular style... Grande Los Jaivas.
