"Authentic Precolumbian music" on a new Spalax subsidiary label, Prehispanic. Mexican composer Reyes has recorded numerous ethno-experimental works for a variety of labels; these CDs are licenses of some of his own Mexican releases. "This collection of music composed by Jorge Reyes takes you back to the time of the tribes who lived in Mesoamerica before the Spanish populated it. A whole family of unique instruments were used to recreate the sound. With full background descriptions and a key to the instruments, this collection contains the magic,mystery and beauty of the pre-Hispanic peoples, and their rituals and the forgotten spirits." Using clay flutes, rain sticks, ocarine, pots, drums, rattles, wind whistle, Mayan water drum, bamboo, fossil stones, sea shells, etc., Reyes aims for a musical experience of feverish, hallucinogenic heights.
