A concept album dedicated to endangered bird species in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. It features a lineup of leading artists in the electronic folklore and South American downtempo genres, including Barrio Lindo, Nicola Cruz, Dengue Dengue Dengue, and Chancha Via Circuito. Also included is The Garifuna Collective, a group representing Belize in Central America.
A collection of mystical, shamanic, and organic downtempo tracks perfect for both dancing and listening.
While some of these tracks are from 10 years ago, they possess a timeless beauty that hasn’t faded at all—in fact, some are even more deeply appreciated now than they were back then. Perfect for rediscovering the genre! (Original Japanese text by Shhhhh)
