Daniel Alomias Robles

Born: 3rd January 1871, Huánuco, Peru

Died: 17th July 1942, Lurigancho-Chosica, Lima, Peru

Nationality: Peruvian

Daniel Alomía Robles was a Peruvian composer and ethnomusicologist. He is best known for composing the song "El Cóndor Pasa" in 1913 as part of a zarzuela — a musical play that alternates between spoken and sung parts — of the same name. This song was based on Andean folk songs and is possibly the best known Peruvian song, partly due to the worldwide success that the melody obtained when it was used by Simon and Garfunkel as their music for "El Cóndor Pasa (If I Could)", although that song has different lyrics.
