Occasionally an act will rework an older song, but rarely will they reach back this far. Paul Simon first heard this 1913 Peruvian tune when he saw the band Los Incas in Paris back in 1965. He stayed in touch with them, and when he and Art Garfunkel recorded this they used the Los Incas instrumental version as a backing track. Of course, Simon would later adapt many other forms of world music, i.e., “Graceland.”
