Los Jaivas - Alturas De Macchu Picchu En Concierto

Review by Gunther Soto

Alturas De Macchu Picchu En Concierto by Los Jaivas is a must-have album for any lover of Latin American music. The Chilean band's performance on this album is nothing short of breathtaking, as they bring to life the poetry of Pablo Neruda and the Andean folk music that inspired his work.

The album is a live recording of Los Jaivas' 1981 concert at the foot of the Macchu Picchu ruins in Peru, and it captures the raw energy and passion of the band's performance. From the hauntingly beautiful "Antigua America" to the upbeat and danceable "La Poderosa Muerte," the album takes listeners on a journey through the Andean landscape and the rich cultural traditions of the region.

Los Jaivas' musicianship is impeccable, with each member contributing their unique talents to create a truly unforgettable sound. The band's use of traditional Andean instruments such as the quena, charango, and bombo adds a distinctive flavor to the music, while the electric guitar and keyboard bring a modern edge to the sound.
