Title: Inauthentic voices, language dispappoint
Review: SAVAE is to be recognized for its valuable work in attempting to bring back to life the lost art of the newly converted Indians of mesoamerica. I had expected to love this recording, but I must report that my hope has turned to disappointment. My first disappointment came with being unable to get past the embarrassingly awkward Anglo pronunciation of the performers. My second disappointment was with the dispassionate voices. I had hoped to get a glimpse of the spiritual passion of indigenous persons who, even today, walk kneeling 2 miles up a mountainside to worship the Virgin of Guadalupe. I wanted to hear from the people who voluntarily sacrificed themselves on pyramids to Huitzilipochtli, the hummingbird god. The delicately meditative and polished voices of SAVAE have much to offer, but they failed to convince me that this was the music of the indiginous people I have come to know.
