Music by CUSCO Andes

The Andes is a mountain range in South America, through Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and part of Venezuela. The average height reaches 4000 meters with its highest point in the Aconcagua. It is the largest mountain range in the Americas and one of the largest in the world. The natural beauty of the region, the Inca ruins in Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, and the possibility of easy access to the glaciers in southern Argentina and Chile, have attracted large-scale tourism. Its flora is characterized by formations and forest steppes. The fauna is characterized by camelids as guanaco, vicuna and Alpaca, also found the condor, puma, foxes, flamingos and other species. Cusco was a German cross-cultural new-age music band named after the Peruvian city of Cusco, which was once the capital of the Inca Empire. The band's music contains influences from music around the world, with an emphasis on South American flute sounds and melodies. Cusco's melodic and energetic music is a fusion of modern and ethnic styles with influences from classical music and rock music sensibilities. The band was led by founders Michael Holm (Lothar Bernhard Walter; 1943–) and Kristian Schultze (1945–2011). Michael Holm, already a successful vocal artist, sought to make a musical tribute to ancient cultures. He and Kristian Schultze, formerly a member of the jazz band Passport, shared musical and historical interests. In 1979, they formed Cusco, and released their first album in 1980 and their end album in 2003. Their albums reached high on the instrumental/new age music sales charts. They were nominated for a Grammy award three times. Cusco's music is frequently used as pre-show background music in Epcot called IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, and has been used as bumper music for the popular American syndicated radio program Coast to Coast AM, as well as several television advertisements, including a Bud Ice beer commercial. Additionally, Cusco composed and performed symphonic new age music for the German television special Sielmann. 쿠스코 ♫ 안데스산 クスコ ♫ アンデス Musical Theme “ Die Anden “ Higher Octave Music 1985 * Apurimac Composer ♪ Kristian Schultze
