VA - Indian Music of the Upper Amazon (1954)


"The area designated by the vague term ‘Upper Amazon’ is actually incredibly extensive. The great Amazon system drains three million square miles of territory, or approximately half the South American continent. Some of its most remote tributaries, fed by melting glaciers in the Andes, originate less than eighty miles from the Pacific coast. Others extend upward into the highlands of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.

    Curiously, this was recorded at the same time Burroughs was down there looking for 'the ultimate kick' via Yage.
