Bloated Stomach Heartbeat

Rain in
puna (Air baguala) - E. Civallero

listen

is a modern composition, based on the rate of baguala Argentina, featuring a handful of instruments rarely used in other contexts and even slightly associated with each other. Far from "respect for tradition", the theme aims to explore other sounds and other textures, to recreate the magical landscape of rain in the highlands . The start of
erke or horn leads to the melody, played on a ocarina a waka pinkillo and phalawata . It also includes the intriguing are the trompe and classic guitar strumming on the beating of a drum legüero .

From the time I crossed the puna -the Andean highlands, only rain. And the memory of mixed colors vicuñas silhouettes of calm under the still waters, green beds of streams running slowly and shredded dark clouds on the tops of the mountains took me forever. If there are magical things in my mind, this is one of them. A beauty. A peace virtually unchanged.

But of course, that was my romantic vision of passing traveler. The puna is threatened. There are no condors, or pumas, or armadillos, and vicuna are scarce. The fields no longer belonged to indigenous communities to pass into the hands of landowners only if they step. The cleaning of the land and waters is broken by mine, consortia multinational business reap the benefits from the bowels of the rocks and left there only poison and exploitation. A farm that has lasted centuries.

So I can only guess that, in composing this simple melody, weighed more in me a sense of frustration at seeing so much marvel that image corrupted puneña rain that barely lasted a couple of hours.
