Los Thuthanaka - Los Thuthanaka (2025)


Los Thuthanaka is a groundbreaking debut that fuses traditional Andean music with experimental electronic elements.

Critics have lauded the album's ability to collapse linear time, blending ancestral wisdom with contemporary noise. Pitchfork awarded it a 9.3/10, describing it as "ceremonial but swaggy, cataclysmic but healing, unrefined but magnificent" . The Quietus highlighted its trance-inducing qualities and deep psychedelic nature, calling it "a trance record in the true sense" . Overall, Los Thuthanaka stands as a powerful testament to the duo's innovative approach to music-making, honoring their Aymara heritage while pushing sonic boundaries.​
