This work was a result of a trip to Bolivia in the winter of 2002. It was during this trip that I met one of Bolivia’s premier charango players, Fernando Torrico. A musician who owned and operated his own studio, I asked Fernando to collaborate on a new CD. His parts were recorded in Bolivia (string and percussion) and the taped were sent to me in New Mexico. I finished the CD by adding the wind instruments in my home studio. The album is mostly traditional Bolivian folk music, with a wide range of rhythms and folk melodies.
