Inspiring Music, Passionate Performances.......2005-02-06

A fellow in a music store in Santiago, Chile recommended this recording to us when we asked what he felt to be the best recordings from Chilean artists. "Antologia en Vivo" was the first he pointed to. My knowledge of Inti-Illimani recordings is not comprehensive, but no other recording from the group that I have heard so vividly coveys why they were the heartbeat of Chilean protest music for so many years. Like many bands from smaller countries, many of their recordings have been made on modest budgets, resulting in music that is cross-culturally earnest, but less that three-dimensional musically. The only reason I give it a four instead of a five is that not every song in this two-disc set is quite up to the standards set by the better songs -- but don't treat that as a reason to pass up on this classic. Eash of the songs is from live performances, as chosen by the band to reflect the night they think they best nailed the song in question. If your experience with Latin music is predominantly Cuban, or Merengue, or even Brazilian, be prepared for something different. At their best, Inti-Illimani aimed to inspire and to challenge, not just to entertain. In the large hall or stadium venues in which most of these songs were performed, you can feel the energy of the band radiating to the audience. If you're of a certain age, and think of early Dylan as "protest music", better strap on your seat belts for Inti-Illimani. Their version of Sergio Ortega's "El Pueblo Unido Jamas Sera Vencido" is an anthem that will motivate you to roll down the windows of your car and play the song LOUD. Their version of Victor Jara's "El Aparecido" is a musical tribute and an act of love. If you are an adventurer in the genre of "world" music, this recording is well worth the investment. In a manner of speaking, this recording could be considered the soundtrack to the restoration of democracy in Chile. Its weakest moments are competent and interesting excursions into music of various South American folk traditions. At its best moments, this music is heroic.
