Pan flutist Leo Rojas (full name:
 Juan Leonardo Santillia Rojas)
 was born in Ecuador in 1984
 and is best known for winning
 the 2011 season of the German
 casting show Das Supertalent.

Rojas moved to Spain in 2000
 and then to Germany, living in Berlin
 with his Polish wife; he often
 performed as a street musician
 until a passer-by informed him
 about the casting show.

 He became a contestant in the
 show's fifth season, succeeding to
 the semi-finals with his rendition
 of "El Condór Pasa" (best known in
 a 1970 version by Simon & Garfunkel)
 and then winning the show
 with a cover of "Einsamer Hirte,
" a hit song written by James Last 
and performed by Gheorghe Zamfir in 1977.

Rojas' version of "Einsamer Hirte"
 was released as a single shortly
 after the show's finale (reaching
 number 48 on the singles charts),
 followed by his first full-length album, 
Spirit of the Hawk. The album, which 
was produced by Dieter Bohlen and 
reached number two on the German
 album charts, featured the two
 above mentioned songs as well 
as cover versions of compositions
 such as John Barry's theme from
 "Dances with Wolves"
 and Martin Böttcher's "Winnetou."
