This is an album by Sergio Cuevas, a composer and Indian harpist from Paraguay, South America, released in 1972 on Arion, a French label that started as a label specializing in ethnic music. This Japanese edition was released under the supervision of ethnomusicologist Fumio Koizumi and critic Toyo Nakamura. The work is full of indigenous, warm, and comfortable sounds, with dry percussion and delicate Indian harp tones gently dancing along with deep hall reverberations. The melody line on A1 is very similar to Sting's "English Man in New York".
A1: Camino de San Juan
B1: Poncho Cuatro Colores
