Hi,

Was playing along with this last night at the folk club. Does anyone have the music. Very haunting tune.

apparently it's a tune from Chile.

refreshing this in case anyone knows it..... apparently its easier to find if you can translate the name into Spanish.... any takers?

apparently it translates as "callejón de las viudas"... but it takes me to lots of Spanish pages...... and I only ever learnt enough Spanish to chat up locals!!!*grin*..... if anyone can find a tune I'd be grateful

It's on Double-Headed Serpent by Inkuyo as "Callejon de Las Vinudas [Widow's Alley]" (with sound clip). "viudas" might be correct. I looked through Music of Bolivia - Llajta Musica!! and MUSIC from the ANDES...and nearby regions, but didn't find the music with that title (both are sites with a good number of recordings, though).

Here's as much of the tune as I can find from available clips. (The pickup D is a bit uncertain, and so are the last 3 bars; they weren't on the clips and could just as easily be: F E D|E3-|E2||).

Found another recording with the title of "Widow's Alley". It's on Mystic Warriors: Beyond Reality (HR8502). Audio clip for this sounds modern to me.

Had a listen to that one too - I think it's something different (or could be an introduction. Either way no melody like to Inkuyo one).
