From Wikipedia: "In 1913, Daniel Alomía Robles composed "El Cóndor Pasa", and the song was first performed publicly at the Teatro Mazzi in Lima. In 1965, the American musician Paul Simon listened for the first time the version of the melody of the Los Incas band in a performance that took place at the Théâtre de l'Est parisien (Paris) in which both participated. Simon asks the band permission to use it in his production, to which the band replies that it is a melody belonging to popular Peruvian author with arrangement by Jorge Milchberg (director of Los Incas and Urubamba). Milchberg is represented as the arrangement's co-author because he added two notes for which he charged royalties. In 1970, the Simon & Garfunkel duet covered the Los Incas' version adding some lyrics in English written by Simon under the name El Condor Pasa (If I Could), included in the album Bridge Over Troubled Water."
