CANCIÓN DEL SUR

The first time I listened to Los Jaivas was with the album "Todos Juntos" and I really liked the blend of folk music with progressive. Then I heard "Alturas de Macchu Picchu" and gosh, was it an excellent album! My interest in the band grew more and then I heard "Obras de Violeta Parra", another extraordinary album. Then, they came to Mexico and I went to see them and it has been one of the most wonderful shows I've ever experienced, so I decided to look for more music and discovered "Canción del Sur", which I consider a beautiful album with excellent folk passages and symphonic prog spread all around the songs. some of these songs were played live in the concert I attended such as "La Vida Mágica, Ay Sí". The title track "Canción del Sur" is one of the most beautiful songs Los Jaivas have in their repertoire. Excellent album.
