Argentinian folk drummer who marks out a super unique territory. Multiple layers of big but dry bombo leguero drums (which are like toms that you carry around in your arms), and they're mixed way up front. Peeping out from behind are tinkly jazz piano, clipped little plinks of electric organ, little wood flutes, marimba, & even wah-ed out guitar. They all have rhythms that criss-cross against the drums, so that the album really has the feel of a flock of birds suddenly taking wing. Tracklisting: Percusion, Anoranzas, La Vieja, Mincura, Viento Norte, La Trunca Norte, La Pesca Del Indio, Vidala de la Copla, Huaico Hondo, Golpes de America, Juana Azurduy.
