Here's a great Peruvian tune performed by Nicolas Carter..............."Son del Sur EL CONDOR PASA"
El Cóndor Pasa (pronounced: [el ˈkondoɾ ˈpasa], Spanish for "The Condor Passes") is an orchestral musical piece from the zarzuela El Cóndor Pasa by the Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles, written in 1913 and based on traditional Andean folk tunes. In 2004, Peru declared this song as part of the national cultural heritage.[1] It is possibly the best-known Peruvian song worldwide due to a cover version by Simon & Garfunkel in 1970 on their Bridge over Troubled Water album.

Brazil and the ten string guitar.
The viola caipira (Portuguese for country guitar) is a ten-string, five-course guitar. Unlike most steel-string guitars, its strings are plucked with the fingers of the right hand similarly to the technique used for classical and flamenco guitars, rather than by the use of a plectrum. It is a folk instrument commonly found in Brazil, where it is often simply called viola

I'll be damned, I've seen them live, it was indeed good. One of those women is Nina's daughter. I must say, it was very good, but i prefer the great Nina Simone herself any day, well not live then. 'My name is Peaches' gives me goosebumps every time...

But I've been very low profile lately, drowned in work basically. Here's one of my favorites, diatonic accordion & bandoleon by two virtuosos in perfect harmony (and Portal is actually a clarinet and sax of all kinds virtuoso):

Hi Marc, nice post , both Richard Galliano and Michel Portal have featured in many of my jazz wanderings on the web. The bandoleon and "Libertango" leads nicely into Argentina which was my next port of call.
Astor Pantaleón Piazzolla (March 11, 1921 – July 4, 1992) was an Argentine tango composer, bandoneon player and arranger, who revolutionized the traditional tango into a new style termed nuevo tango, incorporating elements from jazz and classical music. A virtuoso bandoneonist, he regularly performed his own compositions with a variety of ensembles.
