It ain't the artist so much as the repertoire. Georgi Zamfir, by all
accounts, was a virtuoso......but the Incas ROCK! If you're familiar with
the music, you know. If not, you might want to check out Inti Illimani,
Illapu, Bolivia Manta, Los Incas, the aforementioned Guamary, or any of a
host of others. I was introduced to the music of the Andes by the debut of
the "Nature" television series back in the early 80s. It was a three part
trip down the Amazon from its headwaters in the mountains to the mouth at
the Atlantic ocean, titled "The Flight of the Condor". The sound track was
released some time later under the same title. I had a hard time finding it
even then. I have since seen it on CD, but have no idea whether it's still
in print.

IIRC, it was released under the Spanish title "El vuelo del condor".
