Albums: Globe Trekker Latin American Journeys

Since the first Globe Trekker TV show was produced, the team of composers who create the soundtrack have been pushing back the boundaries of television music. The scores blend music and sounds recorded on location into compositions and arrangements by musicians more usually associated with hit records and classical albums.

Latin American Journeys is the second in a series of destination led albums. A multiplicity of cultures and sounds transports it's listeners on a global journey. It contains music from Globe Trekker episodes in Central America, Brazil, Peru, Southern Mexico, Ecuador, Rio de Janeiro, Baja California, and Cuba.
