The song El Condor Pasa, the original, not Simon and Garfunkel's version, is about a condor. The title means "The flight og the Condor". The music indicates wings going up and down, flying. When the music changes, sounding a bit more dramatic it is the sound of someone trying to hunt and kill the condor. The music is now more rapid, as the condor flees and escapes the hunters.
