5 out of 5 stars Great sounds.......2007-02-24

I really enjoy the CD it is great music to listen to while driving to work. I plan on purchasing other CDs from this group.

5 out of 5 stars Fresh air!.......2007-02-21

Listening to this album makes me feel that delicious fresh air has entered my stuffy winter room! I guess that makes sense, considering the music is from the high Andes. Whooda thunk it? That music would carry the character of its area of origin... seriously it happens a lot. Neato.

Most of the cuts sound pretty much traditional, but there's a little well-done updating here and there; not enough to be offensive or take the performance out of the realm of representative folk, but enough to give a little kick. I really enjoy the sounds of the "quena" flute and "siku" panpipes, which to me give an otherworldly sound, enhanced by the various indigenous percussion instruments and the tinkling stringed "charango". Inkuyo's music renews my hope to travel to the Andes and quietly absorb the local culture.

5 out of 5 stars *BEST* Traditional Music CD of Andes/S.America/Incas.......2004-06-28

Heard Inkuyu's "Land of the Incas" in a "Natural Wonders" Store about 15 years ago and it has been my favorite CD of South America music ever since. The traditional instruments, rhythms and melodies are played with authenticity and joyful exuberance. The liner notes are superb for interpreting the history and origin of the songs. Truly ancient rituals, festivals, and ordinairy life of the Incas come alive in the imagination of the listener. One is transported to another time and culture.

Music in the the diablada, kantu, saya, yaravi, huayao, carnaval, and San Jacinto, rhythms played on the panpipes, quenas, and stringed instruments transmit the energy, beauty, flow of life, joy, sadness and harmony of this unique part of the world. If you can not afford a trip to the Andes Mountains to hear the traditional music of the hidden villages live ... this is the next best thing! Erika Borsos (erikab93)

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful mood uplifter.......2003-12-11

In this album Inkuyo plays a medley of traditional and contemporary compositions with traditional Andean instruments (flute, panpipes, guitar and drums). The tunes are mostly joyful with a few melancholy ones.The music, which is purely instrumental (except for one track),is through and through traditional with no concessions made to New Age or Pop styles.

It is however my opinion that Inkuyo has removed some of the rough edges of popular Andean music to better please our Western ears, at least this is what I feel when I compare the songs on this cd with other folk-music from the Andes that I have.But this is an improvement , not an impoverishment.

The quality of the recording is outstanding and the music a real delight for the ear and the heart. Besides, this is a very long cd:68 minutes! And unlike other albums that only have one or two good songs, every single track of "Land of the Incas" is beautiful and worth listening to. If you like Peruvian music or are looking for music to lift up your spirits, this is definetely a great buy.

5 out of 5 stars A great CD to play along to........2003-07-02

I have been learning to play the panflute for a few months, so I am always on the lookout for new panflute music to play along to. This
CD is by far the best performed and liveliest panflute CD that I have found, and I am having great fun playing along to it.
