Notes
The Miracle of Christmas is a South American Christmas celebration by Juno Award winning Ancient Cultures, featuring the Vancouver Chamber Choir. This Album is an extraordinary collection of Christmas classics performed with a variety of acoustic instruments including quena, zampona, shakuhachi flute, Spanish guitar and percussion. The Vancouver Chamber Choir under the masterful direction of Jon Washburn is one of the finest ensembles in the country. The Miracle of Christmas is a radiant expression of festive celebration you will want in your holiday collection. Canadian music fans are indeed fortunate. With a national culture that embraces cultural diversity, we are continually treated to the musical traditions of citizens who have moved to Canada from other countries. And, inevitably, native-born Canadians join forces with newly-arrived Canadians to form musical collaborations. Ancient Cultures is such a collaboration--a group that plays Latin American folk music. Ancient Cultures, based in Vancouver, is composed of a mixed group of musicians. Alberto San Martin, Carlos Cortes, and Angel Araos come from Chile, but their musical roots are in jazz, folk, and classical music respectively. Fito Garcia comes from Guatemala and arranges and plays salsa music. Edward Henderson is from Vancouver Island where he grew up playing folk and classical music. Carlos Galindo Leal is from Mexico and has many years experience playing Spanish and Latin American music. Their debut album, Acoustic Mirage/Espejismo Acustico, combines their musical backgrounds into a deft, understated, weave of Latin American music. It is a beautiful, introspective offering. By their second album, El Camino Real, the group achieves full maturity. Awarded a Juno in 1994 as 'Best World Beat Recording,' the album displays more creative energy and a clearer sense of direction. This is a fine, sure album that should be on playlist of anyone who loves Latin American music. And for those who like Christmas albums with a twist, The Miracle of Christmas, which features the Vancouver Chamber Choir along with the Latin American folk instruments, is an album that is irresistible. The central Andean regions of the countries of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile (the list is geographic from north to south) are among the richest in the world with regard to variety of musical and folkloric traditions. Long before the Spanish conquest, and even much before the Inca civilization, the diverse native cultures of the region had rich musical traditions. Ancient tombs have yielded flutes, trumpets, drums, and other musical artifacts; many ceramic jars found in ancient tombs depict musical instruments being used in various contexts (shamanism, propitiation to the gods, hunting, dancing) that are difficult to interpret. Music was obviously important in the human and supernatural worlds of ancient Andean people. With the coming of the Spanish conquerors in the sixteenth century, accompanied by Catholic missionaries and African slaves, additional musical languages were introduced. Today, three principal racial and cultural strains---Native, Spanish, and African---are unique in some regions of the Andes and have blended in others to form the racial and cultural amalgams known as mestizo and criollo. The geography, also, makes the central Andes a region of contrasts. As you travel from the highlands of Ecuador, through the northern, central, and southern Andes of Peru, across the altiplano in southern Peru and northern Bolivia, and into the valleys of southern Bolivia, great geographic as well as cultural contrasts can be seen, the latter represented by the numerous ethnic groups that existed in great numbers before the Spanish conquest. Each of these groups spoke it's own language at one time, even throughout the centuries of the Incan conquest, until the Spanish imposed Quechua as a lingua franca; and their autonomy still exists to a certain extent today.

Feedback was late as the first Fandango kaleidoscope was broken in transit. The other kaleidoscope that was packaged the same was fine. Seller offered to immediately send out second scope even before I returned first one. I asked him to wait until I returned from vacation and second Fandango kaleidoscope arrived 3 days after shipping. This time no problems. Seller was fantastic throughout.
