How does the harp music in this recorded selection compare to some of the other recorded Andean harp music you have listened to (for example,”Muyu muyari warmigu” and Vacación)?
What will be an ideal response?
• Don César's harp-playing in "Toro barroso" has a much more "polished" sound with carefully constructed melodies that repeat in sections rather than being made up of a single rhythmic motive and melodic phrase which repeat continuously. "Perhaps the most cohesive force in Don César Muquinche's interpretation of "Toro barroso" is balance." (See further discussion of the music and performance in Worlds of Music.)
• Don César has a more "urbane" and refined sound resulting from years of formal training and practice, and living in cities where he has been surrounded by many different kinds of professional music and music-making.
