Los Thuthanaka is the new project of Chuquimamani-Condori, who played at Le Guess Who? in 2016 at the invitation of Gaudeamus, and their brother Joshua Chuquimia Crampton. As Los Thuthanaka they celebrate the past, present and future of the Pakajaqi – the indigenous inhabitants of the area around the Andes – from a queer perspective. A wild and deeply felt mix of Aymaran music and psychedelic rock.
With Los Thuthanaka, Chuquimamani-Condori and Chuquimia Crampton honour their ancestors and their ancient culture, rejecting the folklorization and framings of the occupiers. The untitled debut album of Los Thuthanaka became a sensation last March, now they can be seen live in the Netherlands for the first time.
