COMPILATION

This Swedish compilation offers a pleasant but rather lackluster overview of Guatemalan folk styles, from percussion bands to the German-influenced small brass bands. The emphasis is on variety here rather than continuity. So, while there are many charming individual performances, the disc doesn't flow very well. ~ Tim Sheridan
