El Condor Pasa is a typical
Inca dance, based on authentic Incan folk melodies. Around 1916,
Peruvian composer Daniel Alomia Robles
notated this popular traditional melody and used it as the basis
for an instrumental suite. The English Lyrics, 'If I could, I
surely would' words, are by Paul Simon (Simon & Garfunkel)!
Gigliola Cinquetti (born 20 December 1947 in Verona) is an
Italian singer. At the age of 16 she won the San Remo Music Festival in
1964.
