Urubamba (possibly from in the Quechua spelling Urupampa, flat land of spiders) is a small town in Peru, located near the Urubamba River under the snow-capped mountain Chicón. Located one hour from Cusco, Urubamba is the largest town in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It is also located near a number of significant ruins of the Inca Empire, including Machu Picchu. The sparse remains of the Inca palace, Quispiguanca, are within the town.

Using traditional Andean instruments that can sound otherworldly to North American ears, Urubamba covers a wide emotional range, following the eerie "Death in Santa Cruz" with the joyous "Good News Pan Pipes. The group is named for the river that winds at the foot of Machu Picchu, the final fortified city of the Incas.

Urubamba is the longest river in South America. Paul Simon brought them some fame as they and Paul's guitar brought an eerie but fascinating accompaniment to his and Art Garfunkle's vocals on "El Condor Pasa". Great music to use as a backdrop while you study Electromagnetic Fields in college Urubamba's arrangements and use of native instruments are very refined and intended to reach an audience that is not necessarily familiar with Andean music. My family owned the vinyl record of Urubamba in the 1970's and it was through them that I became familiar with this type of music.
