Wayno's first album, named for the northern Peru town where the members come from, features a mixture of original and traditional tunes with established classics, and a range of guitar, percussion, and flute sounds (the wooden flutes alone run from piccolo-like upper registers to basso), in what are generally haunting and compelling performances. The exuberant traditional "Carnaval De Cajamarca" is played with such joy that it is worth the price of the CD by itself (although one wishes it were done as a pure instrumental). Vilcherrez's title track is also gorgeous in the extreme -- and, frankly, there's little here that isn't. Some listeners may take issue with the wind or waterfall effects that open some of the tracks, or the very subtle use of a synthesizer on the title track, but none of it intrudes on the music (which includes a very different tempo and accented version of "El Condor Pasa"). One sort of wishes that "La Pampa Y La Puna" didn't fade just as an exquisite classical guitar cadenza comes up, but it's more than made up for by what follows. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi
