Kallawaya (Shaman): Various Artists CD

The word Kallawaya has its roots in the native Bolivian Aymara language and it stands for "shaman" or medicine man. These traditional healers of the Andean region have a profound knowledge of natural medicine that goes back more than 500 years. This new band was set up by four legendary Bolivian musicians, all ex-founding members of the group Rumillajta, and was first recorded by Tumi in 1984. Their music is a combination of original compositions and arrangements from all over Latin America.
