Luzmila Carpio is a Bolivian singer, songwriter, composer, record producer, and actress of Quechuan origin who for over half a century has spread ancestral Andean knowledge and music all over the world. Her music transmits sensitivity towards the earth, respect for Latin American indigenous traditions and vindicating the role of women in our society.
Established in Paris in the 80s, she created a fusion that is both authentic and innovative, allowing her to appeal to a broader audience while maintaining the essence of her cultural heritage. This led her to win a Diapason d'Or in 2000, a prestigious award of outstanding music recordings given by Diapason magazine in France.
In 2015, ZZK Records remixed her re-released UNICEF album from the 1990’s @YuyayJap'inaTapes to create the album @LuzmilaCarpioMeetsZZK. The album received critical acclaim and was described as "futuristic shamanism" by VICE and as "a condensation of tradition and futurism, of past and contemporary, organic sounds and digital rhythms" by RFI and both albums were listed in the top 10 Latin Albums of the Year by Rolling Stone Magazine.
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.
