Apurímac River
The Apurímac River ( que, Apurimaq mayu; es, Río Apurímac, ; from Quechua ''apu'' 'divinity' and ''rimaq'' 'oracle, talker') rises from glacial meltwater of the ridge of the Mismi, a mountain in the Arequipa Province in the south-western mountain ranges of Peru, from the village Caylloma, and less than from the Pacific coast. It flows generally northwest past Cusco in narrow gorges with depths of up to 3,000 m, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, its course interrupted by falls and rapids. Of the six attempts so far to travel the Apurímac in its full length, only two have been successful. After , the Apurímac joins the Mantaro River and becomes the Ene River, above sea level; then after joining the Perené River at above sea level, it becomes the Tambo River; when it joins the Urubamba at above sea level the river becomes the Ucayali, which is the main headstream of the Amazon. Sometimes the complete river from its source to its junction with the Ucayali, includin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Apurimac (album)
''Apurimac'' is an album by the German Andean new age band Cusco. Though their sound has certainly matured over the years, this was the breakout album by the band, garnering their first major international success with its release on the Higher Octave music label. The album was originally written in 1984 and released to select markets in 1985, but it was not until 1988 that the project was finally released worldwide via the new signing with Higher Octave. This album would become the first album in a trilogy, with the second and third installments being released in 1994 and 1997. Despite the name of the band implying an ancient South American sound, this was the first album that focused specifically on bringing together native Incan instrumentation with traditional European rock music structures (synthesized pan flute sounds, which previously were used only sporadically, are brought to the forefront here). ''Inca Dance'' is used as the closing theme of the radio show Coast to Coast ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Apurimac II
''Apurímac II: Return to Ancient America'' is an album by German andean new age band Cusco, released in 1994 on the Higher Octave music label. The album peaked at #8 on the Billboard Top New Age albums chart. It is second in the Apurímac series, and contains native Central American and South American sounds reincarnated with a very modern European musical touch, and has a much more lush, contemporary sound than the first '' Apurimac'' album, or other Cusco albums in general. Sounds of the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations Maya, Inca and Aztec are represented, and its orchestral touches remind of the then recent ''Cusco 2000'' and '' Cusco 2002'' albums, though on this album they are used more sparingly. This album is also a commercial high-water mark in the band's career, selling more copies overall than any other Cusco album. The track "Montezuma" was featured as bumper music on Coast to Coast AM, and was also used for a Bud Ice television commercial. Some versions of this al ...
