The Peruvian panpipes are so unique. El Condor Pasa (played by any number of artists) is a very beautiful, almost meloncholy song that is well-known/popular, yet true to its heritage.



That's only one song out of thousands, instrumental Peruvian music is in my opinion music for the soul.



It'a the best known and easily accessible. Give me some of your favorites, Ivan. (I am Peruvian, btw.)

Yes, Sunny, it was played by Simon and Garfunkel.



Well, check these guys out

The ones I dig are for example "Pampa Lirima", "Town Road" (Flight of the condor CD) and "Añoranzas", Potpurri Latino", "Siembra", "Serranias" and of course the always famous "Condor pasa" (Andean World CD)

It's amazing how many Andean Music groups are traveling around the world. From what I understand, quite a number of them come from the same home towns. I even saw one in the plaza of a small coastal town in Portugal one afternoon....

Back when I lived in Peru, the kings of that music were political groups like Inti-Illimani from Chile, Quilapayun, and Urubamba (who played on Simon and Garfunkels version of El Condor Pasa....)
el pueblo unido jamas sera vencido!

By the way, it sure is hard to play those quena flutes at that altitude...whoo!
