€4.95

Marie Laforêts Album 2: El Condor Pasa (1968) is a standout French pop record driven by its famous title track, an adaptation of the traditional Andean melody with French lyrics. The LP blends melancholic South American folk influences with traditional chanson, cementing her signature moody vocals. 

While some purists find the French translation of the Andean folk classic jarring, others celebrate the album's sweeping, cinematic arrangements. Beyond "La Flûte Magique (El Condor Pasa)", the record also includes her localized hit "La Voix Du Silence" (a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence") and highlights Laforêt’s versatility in blending international folk with European pop.
