Panama is a music lover's--and a musicologist's--dream: the tiny country sits among the Caribbean and Central and South America. While admixtures of music styles particular to these regions are almost guaranteed to be compelling in any form, this collection presents a twist. All the songs come from styles native to the still-rural Azuero Peninsula, where most of the 11 musicians and eight vocalists originate. The region's music unfolds across a percussive bed that reveals African cultural remnants and an overall Afro-Caribbean sense of rhythm. But across the rhythms, played on upright hand drums (the pujador and repicador) and smaller, higher-pitched stick-played drums (the caja), is the distinctly "Latin"-flavored mejorana, a five-string guitar that looks and sounds a bit like a ukulele. Atop the instruments is a shifting set of vocals, from the mournful solo Spanish singing to the wailing antiphony of a soloist and chorus, both of whom perform outside Western harmonic scales, often in a shouting style. Producer Nigel Gallop has captured a huge swath of music, amazingly played by the same set of musicians throughout. --Andrew Bartlett

Beautiful Music, 2004-10-19
I am Panamanian- born and raised in the U.S. I've traveled to Panama and to the interior and heard traditional tipico music. When I purchased this I expected accordians and tipico style music. This is completely different- very ecelectic and unique at once. Some songs sound almost celtic, others African influenced and still others have a distinct Native sound. There are cries, drums, and strings trancending you to the Azuero Pennisula of Panama. Buy this CD if you want to experience the unique and beautiful folkloric music Panama has to offer!
Los de Los Santos, 2000-02-17
This music is bringing me memories back when I was only a kid, in the summer I spent school vacation time in the Panama country side and I heard this music before. I'm 58 now but with this music I feel like a 8 years old kid. I'm very pleased with this wonderful and original Panama's folclore music.
GREAT CD From my country!!!!, 2010-04-12
I am panamanian from Chiriqui, but live in California now. I danced with one of the best dance Academies in the country for almost 12 years, allowing me to represent Panama nationally and internationally!!! The music in this CD is just as good as the music I have danced when I was a dancer. I also going to use it to open a little academy here in Los Angeles and I will use it for my dancers and coreographies. Thanks for the author who made this...
Yes, this is Panama, 2010-04-22
I am a Peace Corps volunteer that has been living in Panama for the last year, and I have to say that this is definitely representative of the sound and spirit of Panamanian music. If you are looking for the flavor of panamanian tipico complete with salomars, this is it!
Authentic Panamenian Folklore!, 1999-12-31
This CD trully presents the authentic music from Panama. I am a panamenian and absolutely LOVE this CD!
