		The Aymara people inhabit the high plateau region near Lake Titicaca, which borders both Peru and Bolivia.
		Because the Aymara were conquered and absorbed by the Inca Empire about the late 15th century, much of the music of this group is based around the Incan pentatonic (five-tone) scale.
		This example, taken from a composition called “Song of the Condor,” illustrates the combination of traditional Aymaran music with European stringed instruments.

	An Overview of Quechua (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It does have some outposts low down in the Amazon basin (in Colombia, Ecuador, northern Peru and Bolivia), though most of these are due to fairly recent migration of Quechua-speakers from the Andes, and generally date from recent decades or at most centuries, after the Spanish conquest.
		The II dialects are split north and south by the I dialects in the middle.
		Indeed, the situation as I have described it prevails in Peru, but in Bolivia and Ecuador its status is much improved of late, thanks to the success of indigenous movements.
