The hottest experimental music phenomenon in the world right now.
The noisy, joyful sonic adventures of Los Thuthanaka, the debut release of the duo with the same name, became a sensation when it dropped last year. Exclusively available on Bandcamp, the record got rave reviews and at the end of the year, Pitchfork named it the best album of 2025. We don’t disagree.
Los Thuthanaka feels like a clarion call for experimentalism and independent thinking in music – a potent blend of rhythms from the Andes, psychedelic rock, noise, found sounds, Aymara songs and more. The production is famously and deliberately unmastered, with audio clipping and static being used as part of the ever changing texture. In a world of music where the déjà vu’s and retro exercises are piling up, Los Thuthanaka actually offers the shock of the new. And it is of course also deliriously catchy music.
Founded by the siblings Chuquimamani-Condori & Joshua Chuquimia Crampton, Los Thuthanaka bridges the past, present & future of the Pakajaqui Nation, an indigenous group living around the Andes in South America. Prior to Los Thuthanaka, both siblings had released experimental music, incorporating sound collages, traditional Andean music, noise and psychedelia. When they joined forces, they drew on their engagement with Aymara cultural practices they had learned through participation in ceremonial contexts. Los Thuthanaka is an anticolonialist record, an attack on cultural hierarchies. It revels in endless musical possibilities. They were at the top of our wish list for Oslo World 2026 – and we are proud to be able to present them this fall.
