Yungas Sideral, written by Fernando DeSanjines, was inspired by Los Yungas, a magical and natural land near La Paz Bolivia, with the dream that someday, at least part of this land will be protected and will become a Bolivian National Park.

Yungas Sideral

Fernando DeSanjines, from La Paz, Bolivia, comes from traditions of rock, jazz and Bolivian music. In 1976 he recorded “Jazz a 4000 metros de Altura" with Bolivian jazz pioneer Johnny Gonzales. Fernando has also recorded an album with Sol Simiente Sur, a group he co-founded. Established in the San Francisco Bay Area since the early 80’s, Fernando has toured and performed nationally and internationally with a wonderful group of world music artists such as Gerry Brown, Chalo Eduardo, Samba do Coraçâo, Wara, Kalamarka, Pachamama Band, Fito Reinoso, George Lamman, Gabriel and Eddy Navia and Michael Ward with Dogs and Fishes.

Fernando has invited Leonardo Arauco Torrez, a rising, talented singer from Bolivia, to collaborate on this project. Leonardo also performs with other Andean and Latin American bands in the San Francisco Bay Area.
