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)!
BZN (short for Band zonder Naam or "Band Without a Name") was a
Dutch band. BZN started out as a pop-rock band in their native Volendam
in 1966, playing early-Bee Gees-like harmony pop. The initial line-up
consisted of Jan Veerman (vocals), Cees Tol (guitar), Evert Woestenburg
(guitar) Jan Tuyp (bass guitar) and Gerrit Woestenburg (drums). On
February 15, 2006, BZN announced they would do one final tour and then
call it quits. This goodbye tour ended 16 June 2007.
El Condor Pasa appears on:
Dutch albums: A symphonic night and BZN Top 100 (5CD),
Videos: Videocollectie deel 8 and A symphonic night I+II.
