A TI
A melody with the rhythm and flavor of the Andes.
The lyris belong to Lucho Medina, with the music and
arrangement of Manuel García.
This melody is included in the CD labeled "Festejo desde la Piel"
produced by the well known
Grupo Alturas.
The Andean man, using a methaphoric figure, calls his beloved as if
was the most tender and sweet element that exists in nature. As the
son of the sun, earth and mountains, the Andean man sings to his
sweet dove, his precious flower, introducing in his own peculiar
way, his language of love that intents to reflect this poetry. The
midi is courtesy of the Group Alturas. You may visit the Alturas

Marcahuasi
A beautiful version of this melody portraying the
cold air of the highlands. It was composed by
Marco García with the arrangements
of Manuel García. The magic of the time, wind, rain, cold and
the calmness present around the high peaks of the Andes, make this a
musical landscape where the daylight and the reflection of the
night, magnify the Andean ancestors. The spirits of the Andean
ancestors sail and fly in a dream surrounding the Marcahuasi peak.
This melody is included in the Alturas CD entitled "Festejo desde la
Piel" del grupo Alturas.

Sonqoy "Mi corazón" (My Heart)
This
is a melancholic yaraví, with a contemporary style. It uses the
penta-phonic scale and a tertiary rhythm within a binary framework. The
Andean moan of the quena and the rhythm produced by the strokes of the
guitar and charango awaken the pain of an enamored heart.

Kuntur
Wachana "Donde Nacen los Cóndores"
(Where the Condors are born)
This is the theme of the movie "Donde
Nacen los Cóndores". Celso Garrido
Lecca composed this song. It reflects the Peruvian movement to
rescue the popular versions of melodies, even with a Quechua origin in
order to project them to the community through media communications, in this
case, the cinema.
