Los Tekis - Hijos de la Tierra

Review by DB Ferguson

Los Tekis, the Argentine folk band, have released their latest album, Hijos de la Tierra, which is a beautiful and authentic representation of Andean music. The album has a total of 12 tracks that are a mix of original compositions and traditional Andean songs. The band has done an excellent job of blending different musical styles and instruments to create a unique sound that is both traditional and modern.

The album starts with the upbeat and catchy "Carnavalito del Duende" that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's harmonies and use of traditional instruments such as the charango and quena are particularly noteworthy. The track "Pachamama" is a tribute to Mother Earth and is a beautiful and moving song that showcases the band's vocal abilities.

The album has a good mix of fast and slow-paced songs, with each track having a distinct sound and feel. "Luna Santiagueña" is a beautiful ballad that showcases the band's ability to create a haunting melody. The upbeat "El Humahuaqueño" is a traditional song that has been given a modern twist and is likely to get people dancing.
