Cover of famous song by Daniel Robelas by me on Peruvian Pipes and harmonica. Incan native miner cries out to the condor to take him back home to the Peruvian mountains at Machu Pikchu way up in the mighty Andes Mountains to escape the tyranny of the first-world exploiters but if it were up to me we could just send all the exploiters home and imprison them in squalid huts atop their garbage mountains. Daniel, a singer/songwriter from South America tried unsuccessfully to contribute to the folk songs in the USA, but had some success back in South America. The play for which the song was written, was about an oppressive mine owner who gets murdered and is simply replaced by another oppressor. The condor I see is in the not-too-distant future when the entire planet gets melted and finally it’s junk on the surface and in space gets recycled. The condor circle: what goes around comes around. It is not the condor which is only what humans see high above; it is the invisible natural world of the real universe from which the visible condor and all else emerges that is the vital factor. What men see in the condor is that it shows up after one has passed away. I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (www.youtube.com…

Here is a new video from me, except this time it is one of my original compositions! I wrote everything in the piece, starting with a theme that I came up with a couple weeks ago. Two days ago, I was playing around with that same theme and decided to expand on it a little more. I added a stronger bass line reminiscent of the ‘hemiola’ pattern used so often in South American music, some vigourous flamenco and tambore, and a more sweet and romantic section to break up the piece just enough before coming back to the theme again. The end result was Fantasia Amore! I hope you enjoy my composition!…

During a small 2-day visit in Barcelona-Spain, we met these young & enthusiastic musicians, coming from several South-Amercan countries, ea Mexico, Chili and Argentina. Everybody enjoyed their music. My wife bought their home-made CD & it’s great fun, but to have seen this in real life is precious…wish them all the luck they deserve!
