Chuquimamani-Condori presents DJ E
Curated by Los Thuthanaka
Blurring the lines between traditional Andean music and club music, or actually mashing the two together, DJ E is the digital overloading album by Chuquimamani-Condori (the electronic half of Los Thuthanaka). They've described it as “the sound of our water ceremonies, the 40 bands playing their melodies at once to recreate the cacophony of the first aurora & the call of the morning star Venus”. Over the course of the record, the artist jams on keytar, sampler and CDJ, and fractures sound worlds that constantly clash and regenerate into something unheard and transcendental.
This performance is part of the program curated by Los Thuthanaka. The duo, founded by siblings Chuquimamani-Condori and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton, has curated a program featuring artists who explore Indigenous Andean culture and translate it into contemporary experimental, electronic and psychedelic forms.
