On the shoulders of the high Andes sacred moments are celebrated with a creative mix of pre-Columbian and more recent sounds. Here, where rural communities celebrate religious holidays and other occasions with dance dramas and music, flute and drum ensembles, harps, and violins share the streets and town squares with saxophones and trumpets. Recorded in the Callejon de Huaylas by researchers from the Center for Andean Ethnomusicology of the Catholic University of Peru in 1993. 64 minutes. Includes 24 page booklet with notes in English and Spanish, map, and photographs.
