Bolivian Mystery: Pukaj Wayra and "Inti Laya - Chanmun"



A band of native musicians from Bolivia called Pukaj Wayra bring the random tune for today. Pukaj Wayra sing and play traditional instruments such as the zampona and toyo (pan flutes), quena and tarka (Indian flutes), and wankara (big drum) along with guitar and charango. Their music often addresses passion, joy, despair and oppression based on their experience as native Indians in Bolivia. You can find this song, Inti Laya - Chanmun, on the 1969 album Music from Bolivia: Don't You Steal, Don't Be Lazy, Don't Tell Lies..

Listen to songs like this and more on the KUNM Global Music Show every Monday night from 10 pm - 1 am Mountain Standard Time. Live streaming, program information and the two-week digital archive can be found at http://www.kunm.org.
