Hello everyone, this weekend I am going to be running a game that takes place in a South American fantasy analog. Something like Maztica (for you older folks), or the Mwangi Expanse.
Have any of you run across some really good (South American flavored) ambient music tracks or mixes that might benefit the gaming atmosphere?
I almost always try to incorporate music into my games to varying degrees, but I'm stumped on this one.
Often i find nice background music in computer games, especially ones with a similar theme. South america..low experience on that. Some of the peace OST tracks from Serious Sam Second Encounter perhaps, though looping that for too long will definitely not be enough.

Some of the jungle-themed tracks from WoW might work. Way back I used a tool to extract all of the background music from the game into mp3, but you can probably find them on YouTube these days.
Those actually sound really good. I can see myself relying on these for a good deal of it.
I still will probably want to look for something even more relaxed. Something that gets them used to the idea of staying here for a while. I'd hope to get them invested in a "home base" sort of situation before casting them to the jungles. Maybe WoW has something for that too...
Some of the peace OST tracks from Serious Sam Second Encounter perhaps, though looping that for too long will definitely not be enough.
Serious Sam sounds really intense and is genuinely enjoyable to listen to in short bursts. Might use this for quite a variety of action scenes.
Now the trick will be to incorporate them relatively smoothly during play.
Some of that stuff is a little too powerful and abrasive for what I'm trying to engender. Have to choose wisely.
There's a "new age" outfit called Cuzco that might have some music to fit your needs.
I remember the music from the game Inca being really great.
