A beautiful song from Parinacochas, in Ayacucho, Peru, performed in Quechua by Peruvian singer Sylvia Falcón and Andean music maestro Daniel Kirwayo. The song speaks of the plight of a young peasant woman, when she gets married and starts a new family. In a quest for herself in her new situation, she sings: “Sound of the river, sound of the mountain, tell me clearly if I am still in my father’s thoughts, am I still in my mother’s thoughts?”
