The music of the Andes Mountains comes to living through and through the playing of La Paz, Bolivia-based fivesome Rumillajta (marked roomy-yaktee). Combining original songs and traditional tunes, the radical bring a modern sensibility to the music, tattle close to such contemporary issues as alien debt and the predicament of Bolivia's miners. While the musical traditions of Bolivia continue the cornerstone of their sound, the band has incorporated medicine from passim the Andes Mountain region. Rumillajta, whose name comes from the Quecha word for "ruins of pit," are known for their groundbreaking harmonies, plentiful instrumentation, and rhythmic complexness. Most of the group's instruments are reinforced by lead quena (Andean flute) player and composer Adrian Villanueva. Prior to forming Rumillajta, Villanueva performed with such Bolivian groups as los Trovodores de Bolivia. The isthmus is rounded out by charango participant and composer Juan Jorge Laura, lead isaac Bashevis Singer and zampona (pan pipes) participant Nestor Tintaya; guitarist, composer, adapter, and background knowledge singer Juan Carlos Cordero, and zampona player and percussionist Max Cordero Ponce.
