Urku Llanthu, Rupachina Review: This review will evaluate every aspect of the album, from its intricate musical composition to its production. Our analysis will provide valuable insights to help you determine if this album is worth adding to your collection.

The First Three Sins, The Summary

The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Omitting all electrical instrumentals, part from the keyboard. And offers the listener with a instrumental environment of ambience and atmosphere, and traditional Andean wind/string instruments.. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Involves omitting the vocals… The Third Sin—The Percussions: Delves into the vast world of various tempos, fills, and beats of leather drumbeats/percussions.

The Fourth Sin, Overall Discussion

Before heading into the music, one again – this is not music, but a mystical journey of alluring one’s soul with a concept based on the custom of burning Chamiza. This herb grows in moist and cool lands, covering the roofs of huts and rustic houses.

Furthermore, a cultural and ancestral expression symbolizes burning the energies left over and renewing them to start a new life cycle. Ancient peoples have always seen fire as a healing, energetic, and spiritual element; that also goes in these expressions accompanied by Andean music and musical instruments typical of each region of the Altiplano and which also opens the doors for the celebration of Inti Raymi (Sun God Ceremony).

Hence, the research accompanying this new cycle of inspiration, composition & musical art of Urku Llanthu will be reflected among others in the third album, which is taking shape with this first musical beginning, Rupachina.

Onwards with one’s journey, as soon as the listener presses the play button, one kindles oneself with this fiery, spiritual, and magical piece/atmosphere and an opening of otherworldly synths -following with a swift sound change and atmosphere. Where the listener is encountered with the sound crackling of a fire (captures the theme of the song) and charming keys and tribal drumming (horns/wood flute (pan pipes)).

At the same time, the whole piece is beautifully composed and well-arranged, with fantastic devilmanship. The sound (again) spiritually amalgamates the fundamental theme — a musical composition, the transcendence of the traditional celebrations of the original peoples of the Andes Mountains.

Urku Llanthu has captured something unique (again) with his music – not just taking the listener in but alluring the listening deep in the music, making the listener feel like you’re there
