Ariel Ramirez is one of South America's most prominent composers. His 1964 composition "Misa Criolla" is a mass for tenor, mixed chorus, percussion, keyboard and Andean instruments.

Entirely based on traditional rhythms (chacarera, carnavalito, estilo pampeano), it is also one of the first masses to be celebrated in a modern language - being contemporary to the Second Vatican Council.
The Andean instruments are used throughout, but highlights are found at 0:00, 2:35, 3:00, 3:50 and 5:55-6:30. And you gotta love the passionate expression on the drummer's face at 6:30. :D
Available on the 2006 DVD "José Carreras: Arias & Misa Criolla."
