The songs you hear on this album, or at least its original "leitmotiv" , were created in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were the result of a symbiosis or cultural miscegenation: the Spanish conquest led his soldiers and these century popular songs Spanish Gold is intertwined with other melodies of the Incas. The instruments also were combined: the flutes and the Incas Xicus, the Spanish vihuela, this cultural crossroads, gave an instrument of the guitar, changing the box and making the carapace of an armadillo, and thereby generating the "charango". Similar manners different instrtumentos occurred were employed and used to play the music.
With this album we propose a second step of mixing or symbiosis of this music: the melodies XVII-XVIII century with electronic instruments, synthetic, living with the originals and in the view of culture that gives us the great century media XXI and after suffering the "isms" of this century, the Pop, the hyppies, and having read the great researchers of this century in terms of human history, races and cultures.
