Various Artists
Traditional Music of Peru, Vol. 6: The Ayacucho Region The 27 recordings in this collection are the first from the Andean department of Ayacucho to be made available since that region's period of heavy conflict in the 1980s and early 1990s. These songs, which range from melodic and beautiful to stark and simple, evoke water, fertility, and life events in their lyrical, aesthetic, and symbolic content. Liner notes in Spanish and English include translations of song texts in the native Quechua language. 28-page booklet with photos. 53 minutes.

Serie compilada y editada por Raúl R. Romero. Las veintisiete grabaciones en esta colección son las primeras al alcance público del departamento andino de Ayacucho desde el período de intensos conflictos en esta región en los años ochenta y principios de los noventa. Estas canciones, que van de lo melódico y bello a lo parco y sencillo, evocan agua, fertilidad y eventos de la vida dentro de su contenido lírico, estético y simbólico. Las notas en español e inglés incluyen traducciones de la letra de las canciones en el idioma quechua nativo. Folleto de 28 páginas, fotos, 53 minutos.
