Before the arrival of the Spaniards in Peru during the sixteenth century, the Aymara Indians had a rich musical tradition of flutes, whistles, and panpipes. However, the conquistadors introduced a new element to this music when they brought the stringed instrument to the Andean region. This collection of Peruvian folk music showcases a well cultivated musical tradition and the adaptation of European instruments to suit the needs of the colonized as demonstrated by the charango - a smaller mandolin with traditional Aymara tuning.

Cordovas - InchThe Rose Of AcesInch / The story of Cordovas is one of rock'n'roll seekers, hammering away in search of not only their ideal freewheeling sound, but also for some greater truth about the human experience. The band has long cited influences like the Allman Brothers Band, Grateful Dead, and the Band. And while Cordovas can certainly jam, they've also been known to tap into the more songwriting-oriented side of those forebears. From InchFallen AngelsInch onward, you can hear the band honing their craft across The Rose Of Aces.
