Record Store
With a nostalgic nod to the days of browsing through aisles of vinyl, we invite you to scroll through our Chaski record store. There’s no actual vinyl; and you won’t find cassette or 8-track tapes; but there’s plenty of music to enjoy and it’s only a click away.
Our first album, the eponymous one! Recorded on the stage of a lovely old hall, direct to two-track, in 1989. Still a favorite.
Pacha Mama is the "earth mother" in Andean folklore. This 1991 Chaski recording highlights the folkloric instruments that form our signature sound.
The infectious energy of the title cut, El Sariri, with its hocket-style panpipes and relentless drum beat, may be why this 1995 recording is Chaski's best-selling album.
The Andean word "Unay" translates as long time. This album, from 2000, celebrates making music with our long-time collaborators.
Viracocha is an album of sacred Latin American music. Recorded in 2004, it includes Adrienne's treble-voice choral setting of the Mass in Spanish.

Valentine Card
Better than flowers! Better than chocolate! (Well, maybe not chocolate.) Give your Valentine the gift of music and poetry. Chaski’s video card opens with an image of a vintage valentine, which we’ll personalize with your own written message. Next up, a reading of the Robert Burns poem "A Red, Red Rose.” The video closes with Chaski playing a flute/harp setting of that timeless love song.

Here’s how it works — choose a video card and write a short message for us to include. We add your text, return the card to you as an unlisted YouTube link and — voilà! — you have an amazing musical card to send via email/text to the lucky recipient.
