When Americans think of Latin music, it’s usually dreaming about Argentine tango, Brazilian rhythms or Mexican mariachi.
It’s a prickly issue for Miguel Harth-Bedoya, the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra music director and a native Peruvian. For him, the soundtrack of his homeland — what he calls Andean music — has an immensely rich and equally valuable tradition, encompassing the cultural treasures of Machu Picchu, the pre-Columbian Incan ruins, as well as the adjoining Inca Trail — those hundreds of miles of ancient roads that connect parts of Peru with its mountainous South American neighbors.”*
