Thank you so much for sharing!
I discovered my love for Andean / Peruvian music when I first came to visit San Diego 11 years ago. Our family had gone down to Old Town's Bazaar del Mundo and found a wonderful band playing, called Tinku. The music was so magical, I felt as if I had found a part of my soul that had been missing.
A year later, we moved to San Diego and I worked for the Zoological Society at the Wild Animal Park (now called Safari Park). It was in the summertime so the park was open late with exotic entertainment. One of the bands that would play in the village area each night was Tinku.
I have to tell you, til this day, that was one of my best memories in my entire life..that summer, working the park..watching the sunset, the lovely green hills, the moon and starlight, and hearing the beautiful Andean music..

I looked them up..they are still around. They play the best version of El Condor Pasa I have heard yet!

Andean music, (English version)

Andean music
is a waterfall
encountered in a quiet forest:
playful and powerful at the same time.

Andean music
is the voice of the wind
that howls among the high rocks:
nothing but air, but nevertheless very strong.

Andean music
is the flight of the condor
making a design against the sky:
it appears to be art, but gives sustenance.
