I've been collecting music from the Andean Cordillera during college and for years afterward. I'm hand picking favorites for this page and have digitally processed them at for best possible sound. Please e-mail any corrections or comments. I hope you'll be inspired to look further into the music and other sociocultural facets of the Andes region and South America in general. Be sure to check your local listings for live performances of this music.
CDs are also available.
If you can help with more information on the artists, titles, and record numbers, be sure to contact me. This is wonderful hand picked music from Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela, Peru, Uruguay and Colombia. You'll love every tune. The group Urubamba started life when some members of the group Los Incas formed the new group. Here's an interesting mix of more music from tapes.
