Monday mural: el condor pasa

This mural is tucked away behind a building on E. 12th St. in an industrial, commercial strip approaching downtown.  I couldn't find a signature but the Andean setting reminded me of Paul Simon's song El Condor Pasa.

    I can almost hear it! Simon and Garfunkel have always been my favourites, since before "The Graduate" (yes, I'm that old).

    Very fitting.

    I love that song! I agree, it goes with this artwork.

    Gee, it wouldn't remind me of El Condor Pasa because I don't remember that song. I need to go check it out . . .

    And as soon as I saw it I thought of the ubiquitous Peruvian street musicians. Whether in San Francisco, New York, Buenos Aires or London you can't tell them apart. I wonder if they come from central casting.
