Raíces de América or Roots of America

Humahuaca

Willy Verdaguer

An ancient town on the North of Argentina, in the state of Jujuj. Andes Mountains, dry land, burning sun, deep Indian magic. All that led the author of this work into use, as a reference point, the mystic Humauaca in its deepest essence

In this work Verdaguer had the support and experience of this friend and producer, Billy Bond, the boss of “La Pesada del Rock and Roll” in Argentina, by the end of the 60´s and producer of: “La Biblia”, the first opera rock in Latin America, which united rock musicians to a Symphonic Orchestra.
