Hello everybody, today's show was excellent. I want to thank all of you that called me during the show. For all of you who missed VIENTO SUR this morning you can click on the "September 8th Viento Sur Show" link and listen to a repeat of the show. In today's show I played mostly two Afro-Bolivian rhythms, Saya and Caporales that have their origins in Los Yungas, Bolivia. These two rhythms are the result of the cultural mixture between native bolivian aymaran/quechua people, the mestizo (spanish-aymara/quechua) and Africans. They were brought mostly from Congo and Senegal to Bolivia by the Spaniards in the 1500's to exploit the rich mines of gold and silver in Potosi, Bolivia.

Jaime Junaro Part 2/2 Special Satuday September 1, 2007
This has been an amazing second part of our special featuring the music of bolivian singer-song writer Jaime Junaro. During the special we listened to a recording that Jaime had done along with his sister, Emma Junaro, and brother, Cesar Junaro, both noted singer-song writers. The album is titled "Tu Semilla" (Your Seed), and is dedicated to their father Emiliano Junaro, who was the inspiration for their sucessful musical carreers.
Jaime, Cesar, and the legendary troubador Carlos Lopez were former members of the famous bolivian trio, SAVIA NUEVA, leaders of the political song writing style "La Nueva Cancion". They have inspired generations of bolivians and other Latin Americans alike to question their government and call for action against injustice.
