"In siblings Chuquimamani-Condori and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton’s dense, elaborate thicket of sound, traditional genres and ancestral wisdom coexist with digital ephemera and rapturous noise. At a time when anti-trans legislation is accelerating in the United States, this imaginative album is dedicated to Chuqi Chinchay, the Aymara deity that protects queer people, described as an animal painted with “all the colors.” You can hear a track like “Sariri Tunupa” and feel the uncertainty in its anachronistic, Oneohtrix Point Never-like ambience, but also an undercurrent of expectant celebration. The titular Aymara god symbolizes these exact feelings—Tunupa’s imprisonment led to the eventual creation of the Desaguadero River. Los Thuthanaka ends with the uplifting “Titi Ch’iri Siqititi,” like a reminder of joy yet to come. It brings to mind what Chuquimamani-Condori once said about their practice: “My life is a process of generating hope.”
