Definitively, Impresiones de la Puna (it’s a geographical region, not a village) it's about one of the most emblematic landscapes of Argentine north: desert, hostile, dramatically beautiful and long away of the pollution, of the mean industrial depredation and of the modern civilization. A trip on time, of senses, of soul. This composition it reflects marvellously and, of course, it does not have anything to see with Hawaii, but I also believe that the emotion that transmits is universal!

So exciting, this music. I want to listern to more composers from South America. I live in Puna, a district of the Big Island, Hawaii. You five play with such sinsitivity. I hold back the tears. No I don't. Bravo!
