Unknown Contributor Role: Hector "Jereto" Ferreyra. Arranger: Roberto Campos. In existence since 1969, Peru Negro are possibly the longest-standing exponents of Afro-Peruvian folkloric culture. Essentially made for live performance, to just hear them on CD is to miss the dance aspect of their act -- a vital part. However, the music is strong enough to stand on its own, such as the percussive, polyrhythmic "Carnaval Negro," or the lyrical tondero "De España," with its flamenco overtones mixed with a decidedly African sensibility. The traditional carnival dance, "Son de los Diablos" is wonderfully sprightly, the massed backing vocals giving an almost choral aspect to the sound, with guitar and bass -- the only non-percussive instruments -- carrying a melody that's essentially a simple riff in a brilliant piece of arranging. But while Peru Negro might be a folkloric ensemble, it's also worth remembering that they're professional entertainers, well trained, and used to appearing in stage and in the studio. That gives a gloss to the disc that wouldn't happen if they were, say, from a coastal village. So the musical quotient is increased (and most of the songs are self-composed, based in the tradition rather than taken directly from it), but there's nothing wrong with that. It helps make this a complex, frequently beautiful disc (just listen to the many layers that make up "Alcatraz," for example). Susana Baca might be the brand leader in Afro-Peruvian music, but she's far from being the only exponent. Peru Negro deserve the exposure and praise they've received -- and will continue to get, on the basis of this. ~ Chris Nickson Peru Negro is a Peruvian music and dance troupe, whose repertoire blends West African rhythms with urban folk tunes and, on certain selections, Spanish guitar melodies. On JOLGORIO, Peru Negro explores the music of Peru through a mix of both new and traditional repertoire. Pieces such as "Carnaval Negro" and "Negrito" celebrate the Afro-Peruvian culture. On the former, one really gets a sense of how connected this music is to the tribal drumming of Nigeria. For this piece, Peru Negro combines sophisticated, well-structured hand drumming with the sounds of happy revelers and the exaltations of various singers. "De Espana" emphasizes this ensemble's Spanish influence. Featuring an electric bass and indigenous hand-percussion instruments, this minor-key song presents a virtuosic flamenco guitar melody. Overall, Peru Negro can never be fully appreciated on record since dance is one-half of this company's artistic conception. However, JOLGORIO does offer listeners a chance to experience this fascinating style of Latin music without having to travel to Lima.

$10.25 Set in 1962; Produced and released in 1973.
AMERICAN GRAFFITI presents a powerful collage of youth on the brink of maturity just before the assassination of J.F.K.. Based on George Lucas's own teenage hot-rodding days in Modesto, California, this brilliant, bittersweet comedy inspired numerous other productions, including the long-running TV series HAPPY DAYS. Lucas's second feature film (following THX 1138), AMERICAN GRAFFITI contains an early screen appearance by Harrison Ford, who would figure heavily in the director's next movie, the sci-fi epic STAR WARS. The film follows one night in the lives of several recently graduated high school students. The ...

$10.49 With the release of Robert Altman's M*A*S*H in 1970, a new form of comedy was born, one that would help to forever change the face of cinema. Altman's audacious film reflected the American counterculture's growing distrust of religion and government in the late 1960s and early 1970s, resulting in one of the biggest box office smashes of its time. Introducing the techniques he would employ throughout his storied career--overlapping dialogue, a constantly moving camera ...
