Café Inkaterra
Micky González
Spanish-born
Miki Gonzáles has been studying traditional Peruvian
music -largely Afro and Andean- since the 1970's. During
the 80's and 90's he produced numerous records fusing
jazz, rock and pop with local rhythms.
Café
Inkaterra, his latest work, merges native melodies and
instruments of the Andes and Amazon basin with electronic
music. Considered the first -and as far as we know the
only- Andean Chill in Perú, Café Inkaterra
introduces traditional Peruvian music into a modern
and contemporary world of electronic sound.
The
first track on the album, "Tusuy Puquio" (Water
Dance), builds on the folk theme that plays during the
village of Puquio's water festival, and is simply exceptional.
The record ranked No. 1 in local sales during May-June
2004. One of a kind.
