The haunting Peruvian yaraví, Antara, features the ancient flutes of the Andes. (quena, quenacho) 3:06

Blanca rosa by César Junaro is a Bolivian bailecito, a dance which resembles the cueca but has a faster tempo. This arrangement features three sizes of zampoñas. (zampoñas, harp, charango)  4:28

Pixinginha and Benedito Lacerda composed this charming Brazilian chôro, 1x0, in honor of a championship soccer game in 1926. (harp, alto flute, cavaquinho, tamborim, pandeiro, surdo) 3:04

El choclo (The Corn Cob), a tango by Angel Villoldo that has been popular for decades, captures the flavor of Argentina. When the tango became all the rage in the teens and twenties, the dance caused a scandal and sparked predictions of declining family values among the masses. Chaski's arrangement features harp and zampoñas.  3:13

The inspiring lyrics and beautiful melody of Alma, corazón, y vida (Soul, Heart, and Life) by Adrian Flores, make this Peruvian vals a classic. "I have only these three little things to offer you: soul to win you over, heart to love you, and life to live by your side." 3:24

The animated dance known as the joropo typifies lively Venezuelan rhythms. Los Mamonales features the harp accompanied by a cuatro and celebrates the orchards of the tart tropical fruit known as the mamón. 2:53

Manuel Acosta Villa Fañi's La calandria (The Calandra Lark) exemplifies the mournful beat of an Argentine zamba. (harp, zampoñas, quitar, bombo) 2:45

Pájaro chogüí, a Paraguayan galopa by Indio Pitaguá, recounts the tale of a Guaraní indian boy hiding in a tree when his mother startles him with her call. He falls to his death but is magically transformed into a chogüí bird. Today in the orange groves of Paraguay the song of the chogüí reminds us of the Guaraní boy. 3:29

Chaski means "messenger" in the indigenous Andean language of Quechua
