Los Indios Del Perú - Lamento de Quenas

Review by David May

Los Indios Del Perú have created a mesmerizing album with Lamento de Quenas. This Peruvian group has brought together the sounds of traditional Andean music with modern instruments to produce a unique and compelling sound. The album features a range of instruments including the quena, charango, and guitar, as well as traditional percussion instruments.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful track "Lamento de Quenas," which showcases the group's mastery of the quena. The song is a slow and mournful melody that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The next track, "El Cóndor Pasa," is a more upbeat and lively tune that features the charango and guitar. The group's harmonies are particularly impressive on this track.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "La Flor de la Canela," a classic Peruvian song that has been covered by many artists over the years. Los Indios Del Perú's version is a stripped-down, acoustic rendition that highlights the beauty of the melody and the group's vocal harmonies.
