Album Notes

"CURANDERO" means the healer and the music was conceived before it was "ok" for North American audiences to hear these sounds...originally composed and performed back in 1984 by Martin Espino on instruments he made. Everyone who hears it always says it is relaxing. So, when you purchase it DON'T loan it out, you'll never get it back, serious!

All the music is based on serious scholarly research.
Martin is of Mexican/Indigenous heritage(Tepehuano and Yaqui). This recording, originally released in 1984 is important because it is one the first ever to bring to North American audiences the sounds of the other part of Native America! In 2009, as director of MEXIKA "Sounds of Ancient Mexico", Martin along with his partner, Chris Garcia, released a CD called "CELESTIAL". MEXIKA tours and performs everywhere: www.myspace.com/mexika

Martin also concieved of "InterActive Performance" back in the 1980's and now he does not only concerts but tours extensively to all kinds of schools/college where he motivates the audiences to interact with him by playing his percussion instruments.
