Track 3 from Saydisc "Percussion Around the World" - notes from Maureen Hanke.

'Llorando se Fue' is an example of traditional Andean music. In this piece the Bolivian pipes are accompanied by the shajshas. The shajshas are goats hooves strung together and played by shaking. They are most often used to keep the steady beat in an accompaniment part and are featured throughout this piece. The clearest sound of the shajshas can be first heard in the opening of the music with the guitar.

Amanecer Andino is a piece of Andean traditional music featuring the Bolivian pipes and the bombo drum.The bombo is the double-headed frame drum of Spain and South America.

The music is in two sections. You will hear the bombo and sticks start the piece playing a rhythm pattern that is repeated throughout the first section and can be heard just once to close the piece. A repeated pattern is called an ostinato.
