Luzmila Carpio
Bolivian singer and composer, born in 1949 in Qala Qala in the Potosí department, who sings in Quechua and Aymara. Her songs come out of the old music of the Altiplano and of the Andean way of seeing the world, with Pachamama, the mountains, the birds and the sun at its centre. As a child she was not allowed to sing in her own language, and carrying Quechua and its tradition has been her life's work since.
