total harmony between pictures and sound...thank you so much! The Flight of the Condor has fascinated me for over 25 years! It was Inti Illimani, if I am not mistaken, who provided the first sound track to the PBS show in the 80s. This one is better!

@knocklap I could not agree more, even though I am blowing my own trumpet here. I do have the original BBC 12" LP from the series and none of the tracks evoke the same haunting feeling of remote mountainous flight as this track does. It was an obvious choice for me the first time I heard it and I would consider re-editing it at some later stage if time allowed. I have so many frames of that flight to choose from also. Thank you for your lovely comment! Mike.

@avadakedavra80: I am delighted that you find this music so satisfying. It was my favourite track on a CD that was presented to my wife and I in Arequipa, the day before we left for Colca canyon to see these birds. I have since misplaced it and have not been successful in tracing the original musicians. It is a haunting melody that takes me back to the true ambience of Colca canyon. Thank you for your kind words and you time. Mike.

Beautiful tune. Andean music is the most underrated of Latin American music and very much ignored in the US.
