Many have engaged this haunting Peruvian Traditional Folk Melody; it has quite a history which drew me in. The original language I could not translate; and the "Spanish" was not any better. So from the feel of the history, what I know of the country the pieces of the translations I could read and all the rest, ---- in the tradition of "Folk Music" I wrote my own heart felt lyrics. I've had many friends from Peru, my father loved this country and now there's this!
Written during Rocktober of FAWM5090 25 October 2018, inspired by the events engagement by so many there to look at other work and consider how it may affect/effect you, -- and so this did.
