The two violins of father and son Reynaldo and Enrique Pillco and the harp of Juan Charalla play the beautiful melodies of the Andes ­ lively marinera dances, melancholic yaravís, cheerful huaynos - popular music created by the Bachs and Schuberts of the Americas. The Pillco family have been based in Cuzco, the heart of the old Inca empire since Manuel Pillco Cuba came there in 1910. A noted self-taught harpist he worked closely with legendary Quechua photographer Martín Chambi, whose unique photos illustrate this disc.
