Andean music is Folk Music originating in the indigenous communities of the Andes Mountains in South America, in the areas covering modern-day Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador. The genre developed hundreds of years ago, combining Spanish musical styles with those of Quechua and Aymara peoples.
This music is most commonly played in rural regions of Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador and by people of Quechua or Aymara descent. Sadly, most Andean music will never be recorded due to the remoteness of these regions. Some groups, however, have recorded their music and performed to a worldwide audience.
Andean music gained sizable popularity throughout Latin America, especially in its countries of origin and the neighboring countries of Argentina and Chile. Many artists in each nation integrated Andean styles into their music. The genre experienced a revival in The '70s with the Nueva Canción movement, a genre of folk music heavily influenced by Andean music. Its lyrics were left-wing and pro-democracy, resisting the right-wing dictatorships common in Latin America at the time. The genre became extremely popular throughout Latin America and played a role in the democratization of the region. It spread Andean music to a much wider audience. Outside of Latin America, the most well known Andean song is Simon & Garfunkel's cover of "El Cóndor Pasa". It helped Andean music reach an international audience.
Songs are often, but not always, instrumentals. Lyrics may be in Spanish, Quechua, or Aymara. The main instrument is the siku, an ancient panflute used by indigenous musicians long before Spanish colonization. Other key instruments include the charango, a stringed instrument similar to a lute; the quena, a wooden flute; and the bombo, a type of drum.
In works set in Peru, Bolivia, or Ecuador, Andean music will often play in the background or serve as a Regional Riff.

Animal Crossing: One of K.K. Slider's songs is "K.K. Condor", which is in the style of Andean music. It is heavily inspired by the folk song "El Humahuaqueño". The album cover shows him in traditional Andean clothing in front of the Nazca Lines.

South Park: In the episodes "Pandemic" and "Pandemic 2: The Startling". In it, Peruvian pan flute pans are appearing throughout the world including South Park playing Andean music. It turns out the reason for this is so they can keep giant guinea pig monsters from wreaking havoc on the world.

In Aguirre, the Wrath of God, one of the Inca natives accompanying the expedition has a siku pan flute and plays it at times, serving as Source Music. The melody is part of the film's soundtrack by the band Popol Vuh also.
