Yeah, I like Zydeco. I discovered it later in life so it's not in my bones like the others.

If you like Andean folk music, try the CD Fortaleza by a group of the same name. As far as I know, it's the only CD of theirs available. The featured piece, Soy de Sangre Kolla, Quechua y Aymara, will cut right through you. Another cut, Mi Madre Tierra, has the following lyrics, apropos of our discussion on this thread.

When the sun shone
in the immense void
and a great God created
life and love.

Time passes
with great splendor
and Earth offered her bounty
to all of her children.

Different peoples
did not understand this
they created dissension
among their brothers.

I ask everyone in the world
to care for our planet,
to live without borders,
to watch over our daily bread.


The lyrics are so simple and true and the sound of those instruments is so pure, you can almost feel the clear mountain air.
