Music of the Andes - Jach'a Uru (The Great Day)

Warming panpipes, ethereal soundscapes and pulsing percussion from the Andean region. “Ruphay” means “Warmth of the Sun”, a very fitting description for the band’s extensive repertoire of twenty albums to date, all personifying the beautiful culture of the Andean tradition. Ruphay’s music carries with it a philanthropic message of hope for the Andean people: to forge their own identity and to break free from the shackles of colonization. "… we are star dust vibrating together in the universal sound." - Mario P. Gutierrez, Los Ruphay founder
