It was only hearsay from the brother, but the picture on the record sleeve was convincing and the surname (Favre) coincided. Wikipedia has him as a flautist, but I'm sure Louis told me he played the clarinet. And the music is great.

I grew up in Central and South America. My first trip to Machu Picchu was camping in the ruins under the Easter full moon in 1971. I was on an adventure, riding trains, boats, planes and hitching and scrambling through Chile, Bolivia and Peru with my cousin. We were both teenagers! But I have to dispute the story of an individual "saving" Andean music- it was alive and well in the early 70's.We went to "penas" coffee houses, where folk musicians performed.I have memories of hearing it as a much younger child in Mexico as well. I do remember traveling briefly on that journey with a group of European musicians who were playing Andean instruments. Decades later, while studying paleolithic art in Dordogne, France. I was at a gathering on the shores of the Vezere River, in the lovely home of a friend of the professor. He had a record (yup-vinyl!) by the same musicians, with whom I had traveled. They were friends of his. At the time I knew the name. but it escapes me now. It could easily have been Louis' brother! Thanks for sharing this! What a wonderful story!
