Comunidad Sikuris Berlin
Curated by Los Thuthanaka
Coming together around the ancient art of playing the sikus (the traditional Andean panflute), Comunidad Sikuris Berlin is a group of people from different nationalities who have immigrated to Germany. They cultivate the concept of reciprocity and exchange that is present in every expression of the 14000 years old Andean culture. Through this ancient yet vital practice—performing traditional sikuri, accompanied by percussions—they participate in solidarity movements and struggles for the rights of Indigenous peoples, and they issue a global call to care for, preserve, and honor Pachamama, (Mother Earth).
Los Thuthanaka, founded by siblings Chuquimamani-Condori and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton, bridges the past, present and future of the mighty Pakajaqui Nation—an Indigenous group from the Andes. Their music is a powerful blend of Andean rhythms, Aymara composition and psychedelic rock. For Le Guess Who? 2026, they curate a program featuring artists who explore Indigenous Andean culture and translate it into contemporary experimental, electronic and psychedelic forms.
