Los Jaivas en Sacsayhuamán
2000
Nineteen years after recording "Las Alturas de Macchu Picchu", Los Jaivas returned to Cusco in March 2000 for an exclusive concert at the imposing ruins of Sacsayhuamán. Thirty thousand people gathered (braving the rain at times) to witness this magnificent spectacle, which also featured a thrilling and massive choreography. The reunion with their friends from the band "El Polen" fostered a sense of camaraderie that Los Jaivas have always cultivated in their songs. The work of filmmaker José Luis Valenzuela is particularly interesting, blending footage of the concert with images of the set, rehearsals, travel and stay in Cusco.
