Hi friends!! Today I wanna tell you about some music instruments such as Quena and Zampoña, those instruments are wind instruments because you need to flow air inside of them if you want it to produce sound, those intruments were played for the ancient people in Peru when they wanted to play songs. It is not easy for me give you a description about them because I can not find the words that I need inside my brain, but I have given you some links where you can see by yourself what I want to show you, the first link is a song played with acustic and wind instruments, and the second link is a song played by Simon and Garfunkel (musicians from New Jersey) both of them playing the same song called The Condor Pasa. Enjoy it !!

THE CONDOR ANDINO
I love the Andean music. There are a lot of musicians in Manhattan who play this kind of music on the street and in the subway stations. Is the song on the videos originally Peruvian? I had no idea. I always thought Simon and Garfunkel wrote it. By the way, they're from Queens, N.Y., not New Jersey.
ReplyDeleteYes, they do. The autor of this song was a man Called Daniel Alomias Robles. He was born in a town called Huanuco located in Peru.
ReplyDeleteYou are rigth. I was some confused about that Paul Simon was born in Newark NJ and Art Garfunkel was born in Forest Hills Queens NY. Thank you for your comments.
ReplyDeleteActually, we were both right then. One is from New Jersey and one from New York. I know they went to Forest Hills High School together.
