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
