Product Description

Bringing to life the classic stylings of Argentinian folk music, Gerard Edery interprets the sublime poetry of the repertoire of Atahualpa Yupanqui, revealing its cultural depth with reverent sensitivity. Gerard s vocal and instrumental virtuosity and his masterful arrangements create an unforgettable musical experience. Atahualpa Yupanqui (1908 1992) is considered one of the most influential Argentine folk musicians of the 20th century. Born Héctor Roberto Chavero Aramburo, he adopted the stage name Atahualpa Yupanqui in reverence to two legendary Incan kings. Widely acclaimed for his songwriting, Atahualpa Yupanqui toured extensively throughout Europe in the early 1950s, performing in Paris with Edith Piaf and other luminaries. Nueva cancion artists such as Mercedes Sosa and Jorge Cafrune recorded Atahualpa Yupanqui s compositions, making him popular among the younger musicians who referred to him as Don Ata.

This review is from: Edery Sings Yupanqui (Audio CD) I was fortunate enough to hear a short review of Edery sings Yupanqui on NPR one afternoon, and was intrigued enough to order the album through Amazon. I find the music hauntingly beautiful, and would recommend it to anyone with an interest in fine ethnic music.
