Subject: RE: Flight of the Condor (BBC)
As you might expect from Inti-Illimani, a recording and performing band that has been in existence for over forty years, there are multiple versions of their recorded repertoire on the market. This is no less true of the songs and instrumental dances which Inti-Illimani recorded in the studio for inclusion in the BBC soundtrack.

"Canto de Pueblos Andinos" is an Inti-Illimani album at least thirty years old, but it is now in compact-disc format and readily available online. (My CD copy is on the Monitor label.)

On the compact disc itself, the tracklist of titles has asterisks beside some of the titles. And the asterisk indicates a statement printed directly on the disc (and NOT on the liner notes):

"Recorded by Inti-Illimani for 'The Flight of the Condor,' the BBC TV film shown frequently on public television."

on the "Canto de Pueblos Andinos" album, these tracks are in that category:

Papel de Plata
Sicuriadas
Huajra
Tema de la Quebrada de Humahuaca
Dolencias
La Mariposa
A Vos Te H'ai Pesar

"Sicuriadas," by the way, is an instrumental tour-de-force for the Andean panpipes, sometimes called 'sicu' or 'zampona.'
