Product Description The sweet breath of panpipes blows across Lejania, thenew album from Inti-Illimani. Now celebrating thrity years together, the seven musicians of this legendary Chilean group return to their first love: The simple exquisite folk music of the Andes. Amazon.com Chilean traditional music septet Inti-Illimani have spent the last 30 years mixing together South American folk styles and a human-rights oriented political agenda. Taking on the largely string-oriented folk music of the Andes Mountains, Inti-Illimani surround their often unison Spanish vocals with rainstorms of guitars, charangos, ronrocos, and guitarrons. In doing so, the group celebrates the everydayness of Andean music and culture--striking a chord of solidarity with global folk cultural struggles. -- Andy Bartlett
