Savia Andina - Flor de un día video

I loved the song from the very first time I heard it and wanted to see it uploaded and above all to share it with everyone that felt the same way I did. As I was searching for pictures that could match with this beautiful inspiration, Machu Picchu was the first thing that crossed my mind. I'm quite aware of the fact that all countries are equally special and unique and that History has played a particular role to each and every one of them whether we talk about alliances or enmities throughout the human timeline. However, both Bolivia and Peru share the same historical background, if we take into consideration the fact that Bolivia was part of the Inca Empire as well. They still share as a natural border Lake Titicaca where according to the myth, Sun's both children were born in order to found the Empire. Furthermore, both Bolivia and Peru are still using until today Quechua, the one and only officially spoken language the period during which the Incas ruled the entire area. In no way could I ever tell or exactly convey the idea that Savia Andina had in mind when they wrote this song. This is NOT an official video. This is not a response on behalf of them. This is not a documentary, a statement, nor a manifesto. This is just a mere interpretation of the indelible impression that both Machu Picchu and Savia Andina continue to leave on me. ps: When I visit Peru, I'll be listening to music from Bolivia.
