A royal refugee turned soul survivor with a remarkable story of resistance having fled Burundi's civil war
Label: Tucxone Records
Andina represents the full-blooded, upbeat spirit of the music of the Peruvian Andes in a mesmorising collection of hard to find tracks from a unique decade. Psychedelic big bands, rhythmic folk and Peruvian cumbia rub shoulders with Andean huayno rhythms and electric guitars as the Andes welcomed rock and electric instrumentation for the very first time into what became a vibrant music scene.
