Various – Puro Tayta Shanti LP alternative years following his big hitsAndean party music from the central sierra of Peru. Tayta Shantis long history of complex syncretism is expressed through its simple song structure. Minimal and raw, or layered with intricate arrangements, its unrelenting rhythm mesmerizes as much as it moves. 16 songs of pure folklore, spanning the late 1960s until the early 1980s. Compilation includes liner notes and photos. Instant mountain rave.
