Song written and composed in the mid-1970s by Luzmila Carpio in defense of the indigenous cultures of Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. In a decade where cultural diversity is threatened, her objective is to remind the message of their ancestors: "Waranqa wataq pasachun, Ama chinkachunchu Waranqa wataq pasachun, Ama chinkachunchu Keshwa parlayninchiq, Ch'uwallakakuchun. Keshwa rimayninchiq Ch'uwallakakuchun # Ama sua, ama qhella, Ama llullakuychu Ama sua, ama qhella, Ama llullakuychu, Jina yuyarisun Inkaj parlayninta!

About Luzmila Carpio The Voice of the Andes is the nickname given to the Bolivian singer, Luzmila Carpio, by her most praise worthy admirers.

Her singing is unlike any other you may heard from Latin America. It has the unique ring of a people fighting for its survival and dignity, the ring of truth.
