Cry for Revolution / Earth Healing Music

Celebrating 50 years of the group Los Ruphay, this album portrays the harmony between humans and the Andean fauna and flora, and the necessary 'revolution' in our actions towards our environment. The various flutes and panflutes, drums, and charangos suggest gifts of sun and rain and ancestral rites. In their songs, sung in two of the major languages of Bolivia- Aymara (the indigenous language) and Spanish, Los Ruphay addresses the declining beliefs in ancient animism today, and how this practice needs to be protected and not forgotten in our time of forced diaspora and social segregation. Today in the Cordillera of the Andes, the indigenous continue to love and respect the Andean landscape- the mystic mountains they call home, the heat of the sun, the rocks and the Andean snow of beautiful Bolivia. They still hold dear their love for music which has a deep sense of cosmic and spiritual harmony for all.
