Luzmila Carpio is a France-based Bolivian folk singer and songwriter known for her distinctive high vocals and use of the Quechua language. Throughout her career, she has established herself as a fierce advocate for Indigenous rights and has continually highlighted Andean culture and traditions. Her vibrant, sometimes ethereal music is characterized by the Quechua's deep relationship with the earth and nature. In the early '90s, Carpio paired with UNICEF to create a high-profile cultural literacy project that was distributed to Bolivian libraries. These recordings were later released internationally in 2015 as the Yuyay Jap'ina Tapes. A former Bolivian ambassador to France, she has also received the country's Grand Officier de l'Ordre National du Mérite. In 2023, Carpio collaborated with Argentinian producer Leonardo Martinelli on the genre-bending collection Inti Watana: El Retorno del Sol, which combined folk traditions with modern electronic elements.
