Singing Solo: Pukaj Wayra and "Solo Cantando"

Our random tune for today is by Pukaj Wayra, a band of native musicians from Bolivia that sing and play traditional instruments such as the zampona and toyo (pan flutes), quena and tarka (Indian flutes), wankara (big drum) along with guitar and charango. Their music often addresses passion, joy, despair and oppression based on their experience as native Indians in Bolivia. You can find this song, Solo Cantando, on the 1993 album Music from Bolivia: Don't You Steal, Don't Be Lazy, Don't Tell Lies..
