Listen: Galaliyam / El Guaranguito Leyla Altiplano from Ecuador/Chile and Siyavush Kerimi from Azerbaijan have created an explosive party record of musical fireworks where East meets West. "Salam – Hola" was the descriptive working title of the project, suggesting just what you hear, a striking mix of tropical salsa moods and Brazilian samba twists, seamlessly sliding into the hottest oriental Mugam improvisations. Its a bit like riding a wild roller coaster with unexpected turns that tickle your musical fancy. But it feels so natural that you would think these musicians from such widely different regions as the Andes and Caucasus have been playing the same gigs for decades. The eleven tracks on the new CD have been produced and arranged by Siyavush Kerimi in cooperation with the leader of Altiplano, Mauricio Vicencio. The record includes new material and traditional music from the East and West. A number of musicians and singers from Azerbaijan perform on a variety of flutes, string and percussion instruments from the Andes and Kamancha, and the balaban, tar and piano from the Caucasus. Altiplano from Chile and Ecuador consists of: Mauricio Vicencio (vocals, guitar, quena, pan flute, zamponia, quarto, tiple, charrango), Fernando Villablanca (vocals, quena, zamponia, charrango, quarto, percussion), Estalin Gonzales (vocals, quena, percussion, bass guitar) and Estanislao Cruz (vocals, quena, guitar, zamponia, drums).

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
