We talk a lot about the influence of African people, instruments, and rhythms on Latinx music. But we know that indigenous peoples and musical traditions have also had an impact. This week we take a deep dive into one of the most iconic examples from Los Kjarkas, an Andean folk group from Bolivia, whose iconic song Llorando Se Fue (aka La Lambada) inspired many covers and samples, from the 80s until today. Featuring music by Los Kjarkas, Kaoma, Wisin y Yandel, Don Omar, Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull and Marcia Ferreira.
