Bring back Rumillajta. Where are they? A rhetorical question, I know where they are, but they did this type of music so much better without the silly boom, boom of the electronic bass.
Sounds like a quena, not a pan flute
It was really nice until they started with the pan flute. I can't handle 'em anymore.

Sound system. My ears used to be superb as well, but, I recently took a hearing test and I have lost some upper frequency sensitivity in my right ear. {#Frown} Getting old sucks.

If you have no comment, why do you insist on posting a comment?

Wherever I travel I encounter  Inti-Illimani look-alikes, S.F., Paris, London, Cusco, Vancouver, Capetown, and moooooooore.

Is there a factory which clones them? If only they sounded as good as these original  Chilean guys.

THIS song, this set, fits perfectly with the morning weather on the east coast (USA).  How'd ya know, Bill?
In Italy Inti-Illimani were very famous in the '70 They are part of my childhood. Thank you Bill!

What you said. Back in the day, I actually used to purchase this type of music. Somehow, the overexposure of it has very much stifled my interest in it. When I hear it, I think Ghirardelli Square in SF!
...must add to all the other comments: ...please more of this kind of world music, traditional, authentic, good!
Yeah, great traditional music! It's a pity all those Peruvian street musicians with synths and pan flutes have given this music such a bad name...
YAY! Great track. So good to hear the genuine article too - without the cheap electronic ambient backing track that seems to accompany all our Andean buskers...
I'm Chilean too. It's very surprising to hear Inti-Illimani in Radio Paradise! =P
Come on!!! Inti-Illimani is a very famous band here in CHILE, they're not peruvian like some people here think. Regards and congratulations for having this band in you playlist!
reminds me of those guys who always used to fake playing the pan flute in front of my building in NYC. i wonder if they ever sold any albums?
Esto es música carajo
I keep expecting a troupe of poncho wearing Peruvians to come conga-ing like round my flat with pan pipes and guitars...
I used to think that there was only one Peruvian group playing one panpipes set and they were following me around the world. Then I saw this group live.......a class apart.

Same here. This has been a stellar set so far. And Inti Illimani to boot - first time I've heard this here. Baile!

Nah. Just the same insturment - Panpipes. It does sound better than Zamfir, though.
