"I bought this CD some years ago, unheard - on a whim - and it is now one of my prized possessions. This is raw music! Full of passion and fire. It has the taste of "aguadiente" the feel of people making music for the sheer fun of it. Music from the mountains is mixed with that from the "llanos". Spectacular playing is intermingled with crude chanting, stomping rythmns with yearning cries of love or pain. It is all on a knife edge, but it works so well. Why is it no longer available?? Good music like this should not be unobtainable for long. All of you go to your local CD store and demand a copy!! You will not be dissappointed."
