Album Info

Release Date: 2000

Label: Global Entertainment

The music of La Región del Misterio (In The Realms of Mystery) was entirely composed and played with ancient Mesoamerican instruments and ethnic Mexican instruments.

In these recordings no electronic effect has been added, except the over-dubbing of individual channels, and some echoes to create a balance between the different instruments, as well as the desired atmosphere.

The various bird voices and the sounds of wind and water have been created only with pre-Columbian musical instruments without any special effect or electronic gadget.

The music of La Región del Misterio was created for the following documentary films: The Heirs of the Sun (Sylvia Iglesias and Nelly Ramirez Vázquez, 1983); The Life of Netzahualcoyotl (Carlos Kleiman, 1985) and Ulama, the Game of Life and Death (Roberto Rochín, 1986). The album was originally released in 1986.
