Chuquimamani-Condori debuted a slew of unreleased original music yesterday on Nashville public radio station WNXP, playing new edits of songs from Bob Seger, Jason Aldean, and a musician they called “probably my favorite artist of all time,” Vince Gill. The setlist also featured interpretations of songs by Andean folk artists including Picaflor de los Andes, Los Walys, and Grupo Juventud among others. Listen to the full episode here.
During the show, they also announced a new Los Thuthanaka project, Waq’a, a musical rendition of the Aymara story of the sun that will arrive on April 3 on Bandcamp alongside an accompanying booklet. The release will include three instrumental tracks: two set before the creation of the sun, and one tackling the star’s ending. The booklet, which they’ll published exclusively in Aymara for the moment, was co-curated with Shana Inofuentes and Eber Miranda of Ch’ama Native Americas.
Los Thuthanaka released their self-titled debut in 2025. Chuquimamani-Condori shared their most recent EP, Luzmila Edits, in February; it featured four edits of songs by the Bolivian artist Luzmila Carpio credited to the producer’s DJ E alias. Chuquimamani-Condori’s brother and bandmate, Joshua Chuquimia Crampton, shared a solo album, Anata, the same month.
