The main influence on Alberto Ginastera for this 1981 composition was the folk music dances of the northern part of Argentina and the lonely and desolate regions of the Andes and the nations of South America. This is aninteresting and mysterious piece, full of passion and ambiguity, with a distinct fantastical quality, despite being earthed in folk music.
