Here is a collection of music from all over South America. As Rio Blue puts it, "The songs of these pages were written under the moon and the thunder. Their history is long. It comes traveling from forever in the voice of the people and their instruments, in the heart, in their tears, in friendship, in merriment and in shared wine."
