Los Thuthanaka + Al Karpenter

Scottish debut performances from two of the most vital groups operating today.

Al Karpenter is the post-genre punk band of Álvaro Matilla, Marta Sainz (bass, vocals), Enrique Zaccagnini (percussion, electronics, vocals), and Mattin (computer, drums, vocals). Born in the Basque Country’s experimental underworld and raised on a diet of no wave, noise, improvisation, and dissent, Al Karpenter fuse improvisation/free jazz, Afrobeat, electronic abstraction, and garage punk into a strange sonic world.

Founded by west coast artists Chuquimamani-Condori & Joshua Chuquimia Crampton, grupo Los Thuthanaka bridges the past, present & future of the mighty Pakajaqui Nation through a potent blend of Andean rhythms, Aymara composition & psychedelic rock to create a style of Andean music unheard until now. Huayño, caporal, and kullawada are transformed into complex sonic landscapes, where tradition merges with the digital in an act of living, untamed memory.
