El Cóndor Pasa (The Condor Goes by (or Flies by)) is a song from the zarzuela El Cóndor Pasa by the Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles written in 1913 and based on traditional Andean folk tunes.
It is possibly the best-known Peruvian song worldwide due to a cover version by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970 on their Bridge Over Troubled Water album. This cover version is called El Condor Pasa (If I Could). (wikipedia)
This song is part of the culture of the countries of south america. The condor means freedom, majestic but at the same time history and the conection with our ancestors, like the Incas of Peru. This song also represents the armonic conection of men with the enviroment.
In this video we have the interpretation of "El Cóndor Pasa" in the beautiful voice of Claudia de Colombia a great composer of Colombia.
