beautifully intimate cassette featuring rare home recordings by Alberto Juscamaita Gastelú

 

These 11 tracks (≈28 minutes) present early‑20th‑century huayno guitar interpretations rooted in the Andean harp tradition. Raktako’s style blends Spanish lute, violin, and accordion influences, evolving the guitar into a solo Andean voice.

 

Unearthed by his last disciple Gustavo Yashimura in 2022, the tapes—recorded between 1930–1940—are raw, atmospheric, and deeply emotive. They reveal the essence of a century‑old musical legacy previously unheard outside Peru.

 

This limited-edition cassette (with digital download in FLAC/MP3) is a treasure for folk collectors, ethnomusicologists, and anyone drawn to the deep resonance of Andean guitar traditions.
