Album lore

This 1999 release from Universal Music Argentina gathers two significant works by Ariel Ramírez, a central figure in Argentine folk music. The album pairs the Misa Criolla, a choral mass blending Andean folk instruments and rhythms with liturgical text, alongside Navidad Nuestra, a seasonal suite steeped in regional styles such as huella pampeana and chamamé. The featured track, "La Peregrinación," exemplifies this with its measured huella rhythm and plaintive vocal lines.The recordings enlist a distinguished roster: Mercedes Sosa's voice lends gravitas, supported by Chango Farias Gómez, Popi Spatocco, and others, with arrangements incorporating choral forces from Estudio Coral de Buenos Aires and traditional instrumentation from Jaime Torres and Nicolás Colacho Brizuela. This album holds a respected place in the canon of Latin American folk, preserving a blend of sacred and popular traditions with a clarity that rewards attentive listeners.
