In the Quecha language, Takillacta means "Song of the People". Here, traditional South American instruments like sikus (panpipes), quena (single bamboo flute), charango (small guitar), and bombo (goatskin drum), as well as occasional vocalists, offer traditional and modern melodies that are accompanied by piano, guitar, bass and drum to create a jazzy Andean version of worldbeat music. Most of the selections have a gentle quality to them, even those marked by percussion and handclapping, due to the sweetness of the melodies and smoothing influence of the accompaniments.
