		The ceremonial music they played -- dominated by the sound of the mbira, a thumb piano of reed or metal keys mounted over a resonator, often a gourd -- had existed for perhaps a thousand years, but Berliner's tapes were the first chance most people had to hear it.
		Almost all the music and arrangements are Ahluwalia's, and despite the traditional Indian and Pakistani styles and instrumentation -- tabla, harmonium, sarangi, dhol -- she doesn't veer away from North American pop influences.
		Her music is driven by syncopated, percussive piano, zesty acoustic guitar, and percolating hand percussion from a conguero and two players of the cajon, or box drum; the album includes a salsa number, but most of the songs employ specifically Peruvian rhythms like the festejo, vals, and lando.
