Based in El Alto-- Bolivia's indigenous capital-- Wilkamayu is an indigenous Aymara band that plays traditional folklore music.

They are produced at Wayna Tambo, a local radio station known for playing modern styles of protest music like rock, hip-hop, metal, and punk. Yet Wilkamayu enjoys the same following of youth supporters as the modern groups.

This is a portrait of the traditional group preparing backstage as their hip hop counterparts perform.
