These 22 tracks, recorded in 1990-1991 in the three cultural regions (Creole, Afro-Cuban, and Andean) of the Department of Lambayeque in northern Peru, feature music of festival dances and songs accompanied by a variety of instruments, and Christmas carols sung by children. "The collection's aural quality has a surreal edge and its purity of spirit is spellbinding." —Americas
