State51 proudly presents a brand new remaster of Chilean psych-folk-prog-rock heavyweights Los Jaivas’ classic opus – Alturas de Macchu Picchu – on 180g heavy weight clay-coloured vinyl, housed in a newly designed deluxe gatefold sleeve. Based around the poems of the same name by globally renowned Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, and recorded in Paris during the Pinochet regime, Alturas sees the band blend deep Andean music, with synths and an approach to reinterpreting traditional music that touches on the UK folk rock acts of 10 years before – Fairport Convention and Trees. Alturas de Macchu Picchu has since become one of the most seminal albums in South America; an icon for Andean culture, a fundamental musical text in Chilean music – now this RSD edition will bring new fans deep into the world of Los Jaivas and the Heights of Macchu Picchu. Limited to 1,000 US copies.
