RINAKARUY

The second album of Paykuna

​

Rinakaruy means "to go on a journey" in Quechua, one of Bolivias many indigenous languages. Let this album  take you on a journey through bolivian landscapes, each of the seven compositions portraying an unique place. From the calm lagoons of the bolivian highland to the busyness of the Barrio 12 de enero in Quillacollo, you'll find yourself in locations that seem to be on a different planet, their essence captured in sound by the band.

​

We're happy to have Victoria Pfeil (soprano saxophone) on Rinakaruy and Daniela Martínez (vocals) on Q'ocha and Uyuni, giving those pieces a very personal note.

​

The music was wonderfully visualized by our favorite artist Rafael Koller. It is composed of seven indivual pieces, which upon release will be available as prints.

​

In addition to the music, four artistic videos will be produced for this album. Continuing our collaboration with bolivian contemporary dancer Laura Mercado, Demian Coca and her put together a team of five dancers and who together with director Abner Paredes travelled to the places that inspired the compositions Q'ocha, Uyuni, Alas and Tunari.
