We were in Peru and Bolivia and I fell in love with Andean Music. Just gorgeous! I remember driving in a bus over the Altiplano in Bolivia, local music in my ears. There was a short rain shower and when the sun came back out, we stopped and looked around. Seeing the whole mountain chain in the distance. It really hit me how well the music fit the landscape!
The real author was the Indian people, but the song itself gained worldwide fame thanks to two people.
El cóndor pasa is a song written by the Peruvian composer Daniel Robles in 1913 to the theme of traditional folk melodies of the inhabitants of the Andes. He collected and recorded folk music.
The second and, perhaps, the main popularizer of the song "El condor pasa" was the musician from the USA Paul Simon.
The song "El cóndor pasa" has been declared a national treasure and cultural heritage of Peru.
I think any folk music or author's music based on folk is close to nature. I really love and appreciate folk music from all over the world.
You are lucky to hear this beautiful music in nature, in the country where it was born.
