I think I’ll try something novel here:
One. I’m choosing to name the next several articles by the Band they’re about. This one is called Inkuyo.
Two. I’m also writing these in the order they will be displayed on this page: ie, if you were to read this post before The Acorn post. Backwards in time.
Lets’ dig in:
Inkuyo – Wipala[play] [buy]
After having been thoroughly amazed by Baraka, I dug deeper into the film’s soundtrack. Looking through the credits yielded many interesting bands and sounds, including Dead Can Dance, but one sequence in particular intrigued me enough to dig deeper.

Acoustic guitar and pan-pipes played over images of children playing in over-expanded slums, beautiful and somehow separate from the modern world. The music transported the children away from the awful reality and into their own imaginations, flying kites, running in circles, and watching the people pass by. I needed to find that song, and I did. Inkuyo.
I actually bought the CD in a store, something I hardly ever do, but so excited was I to hear what else this band could do. And I was so impressed. The liner notes describe the band as almost-archaeologists, a group of scientists trying to reproduce the sounds of the Incans. And you know what?
They succeed. I believe them.
Here’s one more song for your pleasure:
Inkuyo – El Carnival
