El Cóndor Pasa (zarzuela)
El cóndor pasa is a Peruvian zarzuela (musical play) whose music was composed by Peruvian songwriter Daniel Alomía Robles in 1913 with a script written by Julio de La Paz (pseudonym of the Limenian dramatist Julio Baudouin). The piano arrangement of this play's most famous melody, ''El cóndor pasa'', was legally registered on May 3, 1933, by The Edward B.
