Drawn from the Lima-based Disco Smith catalog, this compilation presents both Andean highland folk music and música criolla, Creole music played by European and African settlers living on the Peruvian coast. The album offers a snapshot of the period when the migrations from the Andes to the coast were underway in the country. Since the 1980s, however, the influx of Latin American music has overshadowed Peruvian music, causing it to recede into the background. The liner notes are written by musicologist John Cohen, a founding member of the New Lost City Ramblers.
