Luzmila Carpio is a Bolivian singer, songwriter, and composer and one of the most prominent Indigenous singers to emerge from Latin America Quechuan origin, who for over half a century has spread ancestral Andean knowledge and music all over the world. Her music transmits sensitivity towards Pachamama (Mother Earth), respect for Latin American indigenous traditions and vindicating the role of women in our society.

As a small child, she learned the daily songs of the Quechua and Aymara indigenous peoples that inhabit the Bolivian Altiplano, stories of mythical heroes and songs of harvest. In tune with the primordial rhythms of nature, she learned to sing by imitating songbirds.

In her recent compositions, Luzmila Carpio delves into themes that not only resonate with her indigenous heritage but also hold significance for younger generations. She explores the issues of cultural identity, empowerment of women in society, environmental preservation, and the importance of indigenous spirituality in a rapidly changing world.

Her latest album 'Inti Watana- El Retorno del Sol' received critical acclaim and was listed #10 in the top 50 on Rolling Stone’s Best Spanish Language albums of 2023, and describing her as one of Latin American Music Legends.

Accompanied by the Argentinian group Tremor, Luzmila Carpio is in London on Tuesday 29th October at the Bush Hall.
