Ojos azules (song)

Ojos azules, is a "taquirari" (traditional bolivian folklore) registered in 1947 by the Bolivian composer Gilberto Rojas Enriquez. The Peruvian composer Manuel Casazola Huancco was also erroneously attributed as the author of the song. According to investigations about the origin of the song, it was originally known as "Ojos bonitos" (Pretty Eyes), a traditional Peruvian huayno from Cuzco.[1] The song remains popular in the repertoire of Andean music groups from Bolivia, Peru, Chile, and Argentina.
