Aconguija by Agustin Barrios Mangore

This piece supposedly was part of the Suite Andina, which also included Cueca, Aire de Zamba and Córdoba. They are thematically related, they are all influenced by music from the Andes, but this so called suite has not been seen in any of his concert programs, so I consider these works as separate pieces. Aconguija is the name of a mountain in the Andes.

Barrios also called this piece "Aire de Quena", this means Quena air. The quena is a traditional instrument from the Andes, flute-like. Barrios supposedly based the opening melody on a similar one he heard on that instrument.
