Cusco
Biography
Two German keyboardists lead this band: Michael Holm had a long string of Top Ten vocal records in Germany during the '60s and '70s; Kristian Schultze is one of Europe's busiest studio musicians. They share an interest in South America's prehistoric musical heritage, yet their albums are far from traditional. Cusco combines catchy melodies and steady rock/funk beats with just enough ethnic percussion and electronically generated panpipe sounds to give a South American flavor. ~ Linda Kohanov, All Music Guide

I first heard Cusco at a flea market in South Carolina. Clear across the field I heard it and followed the music to the booth that was playing and selling it. Had to have it. Such good mood music.

I love this group; their sound is happy and carefree - it does make the cares of the day fade into non-existanc e . If you haven't listened to it, you should! (some songs / albums are duplicated - caution when you purchase)

Cusco brings some of my more favorite music. Their style remains much the same throughout their albums. I own Apurimac as well as Vol.II and III; The Ring of the Dolphin and Mystic Island. Very melodic and often upbeat but nevertheless beautiful and restful.
|
||
I like the mix of electronic and world influences. Very good sound. I may have to buy a copy of "Mystic Island."
|
||
This music takes my spirit flying above the most beautiful terrain... it enlivens and relaxes my spirit in the same verse..
|
||
Cusco always reminds me of cool video game music. To me, this is good, because I am a geek. But...others may not get it.
