Joshua Chuquimia Crampton
Curated by Los Thuthanaka
Guitarist Joshua Chuquimia Crampton is one half of experimental music sensation Los Thuthanaka. The same relentless energy he brings to their performances—strumming the electric guitar in continuous motion—drives his solo work, waving like an ocean of distorted strings that feels organic as much as it feels glitchy and hyper-digital. The saturated world of his album Anata is dedicated to the Andean ceremony honoring Pachamama (Mother Earth), who opens her eyes, signaling the rainbow, and nourishing nature and mankind with rain, regeneration and abundance.
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.
