Seeking an Obscure Peruvian or Bolivian Traditonal Pan Flute Music Album

Ready for a doozy, Metafilter? I am looking for a specific Peruvian or Bolivian album from the early or mid 1990s, and I don’t know the name of the artist or the name of the album.
Here’s what I know about the album. It was made up of traditional pan flute music and had at least the following songs: Sukiri, Tempestad, Lejanas, Juku. The artists sometimes make noises of encouragement during the songs, but they never sing.
I have already searched Amazon.com and Itunes, and as far as I can tell the album is not for sale there. (Btw, I own a copy of Inca the Peruvian Ensemble’s album, and I know for certain there album is not the one I am seeking.) The album probably uses some of all of the following words: Bolivian, Peruvian, Flute, Music. I also remember (possibly) the word “magic” and/or “traditional” being involved in the title of the album.
My father purchased this album in Washington DC on tape. I do not know for certain if the artists were national or not, but I wonder if the reason I haven’t found this album thus far is because the artist was local or traveling around.
Thanks in advanced!

Jach'a Mallku recorded three of those four songs on their album "Gran Condor," and they have also been included on the multi-artist compilation called "Traditional Andean Songs." (and probably on many more less formal compilations).
I believe Rumillajta also recorded three of those songs at one point or another (using the spellings"Zuriki" and "Jacku") but I can't find a recording of "Lejanias" from them.
note some spelling variants: Suriki/Zuriki/Suriqui, Lejanias/Lejania, Jucku/Juku. Those specific titles are I believe all (Aymaran) Bolivian stuff, so that may help you narrow it down.
