"El Condor Pasa (If I Could)"

Back in January while in Peru I posted a link to a recording I created of the live music that was performed for us during dinner. As my friend Janet so astutely pointed out, the song was re-recorded by Simon and Garfunkel and titled "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)". The original song from Peru, titled "El Condor Pasa", was composed in 1913 by Daniel Alomia Robles who based the song on Andean folk tunes. The version I heard while in Peru has become one of my favorite instrumental songs, but I thought it would be fun to share the alternate versions.
