The album has the same name that the poem of Pablo Neruda because this poem was the inspiration for the group. The poem was written when Neruda visited Machu pichu and it was published in 1950.
This album was born of the idea of Daniel Camina, a Peruvian musical producer. He proposed to the group to make this album and made a film where the musicians played in Machu Pichu. The group was delayed 9 months to create "Alturas de Machu Pichu". For this film, they have to put the piano in an helicopter and was prensented by Mario Vargas Llosa.
I think that the experience of these musicians is a luxury, because now nobody can be uncroweded at this location and less play music. I think that above all for the pianist was a luxuury because I think is a madness to climb a piano.
Well, I know this album since I was a child, when I travelled in the car with my family and we listened to them to not get bored.
I like this album because I feel calm and I active my imagination. The music really transports me to Machu Pichu, place I would like to visit.
Below is the film so you can watch it.
THIS IS THE BEST LATIN PROG ALBUM EVER MADE
