The government of Bolivia finally accepted that the famous tune “El Cóndor Pasa” (The Condor passes by) is from Peruvian origin, stating that the Bolivian blogs that claim the song is in fact Bolivian “do not have legal recognition.”
Bolivia's Cultural Minister, Pablo Groux, said that Bolivia never tried to steal the “paternity” of the aforementioned folk tune.
“El Cóndor Pasa was composed by a Peruvian citizen. Peru declared the tune as part of its cultural heritage and we respect that,” he told the press.
Wilder Bendezú, the Andean Parliament Deputy President, said that “this is a great step towards the mutual respect of our countries' traditions.”
"El Cóndor Pasa" was written by Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles en 1913, and was declared as part of Peruvian cultural heritage in 2004.
