Chuquimamani-Condori

 

Chuquimamani-Condori is a multidisciplinary artist & musician
belonging to the Pakajaqi nation of Aymara people.

Chuquimamani-Condori blends traditional drum & ceremonial music from
their Pakajaqueño family, full of harsh, colorful synths & noise, said
to "recreate the cacophony of the first aurora, the call of chuqi
chinchay", described by listeners as "astonishing in its unabashed
emotional vulnerability & raw, chaotic, even violent noise overload",
"like stargazing, making a bonfire, profoundly uplifting and human", &
"spiritual, boundary liquefying" music.

New album 'DJ E' was released in November 2023.

Previous recent works include Rayo Mix (2022), Across the Policed
World: A Transnocturnal Huayño (2022), and Amaru's Tongue: Daughter
(2021), a collaborative work with Joshua Chuquimia Crampton. They also
continue to do work with AIM SoCal, the Southern California chapter of
the American Indian Movement (founded in 1968).
