John Williams, Paco Peña, Inti-Illimani: Fragments of a Dream

	Fragments of a Dream

John Williams and his long-time friend, neighbour and counterpart from the world of Flamenco, Paco Peña, enjoyed a musical and personal friendship with Inti-Illimani as a group and its members (in particular leader and composer-in-chief Haracio Salinas) since the Intis were forced into exile to Europe from Chile in the early 1970s.

After many guest appearances by John and Paco during Inti Illimani concerts in Britain throughout the seventies, in 1986 a deliberate move was made to deepen that association by creating and performing new works which allowed John and Paco to integrate fully into the group. Apart from this album including a solo each from John Williams and Paco Peña, both are involved on every track. This is therefore far from a "guest appearance".
