Background notes
Archive material and source history
Raíces de América formed in the Peruvian Andes in 1976, started by musicians who wanted to play the traditional music of their region. They worked with what they had, playing the instruments and songs they knew from growing up there.
Their version of "El Cóndor Pasa" got picked up by Simon & Garfunkel in 1979 for a live album, which gave the band some attention outside Peru. They also recorded songs like "Los Hermanos" and "Canción a Nicaragua," keeping to the Andean folk style they started with.
Jaime Guardia and Arturo "Zambo" Cavero were among the founders. The group's lineup shifted over time, but they stayed with the music they knew, playing the melodies and rhythms from home without much fuss.
