In the mid-1970s Richard Alderson made these amazing recordings in Chiapas, Mexico

A very unique blend of ancient music and modern rhythms. Here we have modern Mayan people singing folk songs accompanied by guitar, ragged brass bands, and much more. A trip into a very beautiful world. The cover is a faux Folkways style wrap around print on an old school 'tip on' jacket. Includes liner notes. A co-release with our friends Moi J'Connais
