': ,: :, : This album brings special attention to the a dual threat faced : :' by the indigenous people of Bolivia: the impact of ': ,: westernisation and climate change representing a :, : gradual-yet-persistent erosion of traditional ways of life. : :' ': ,: The Three Seasons of the Andes highlights Bolivia's distinctive :, : and unique climate. Bolivia experiences three seasons within its : :' annual cycle Lupi Pacha (the dry season), Jallu Pacha (the ': ,: rainy season), and Thaya Pacha (the cold season). These seasons :, : of the Aymara annual cycle (Kimsa Pachanaka translates to three : :' times) have been greatly disrupted by climate change, affecting ': ,: farming communities and the nation's biodiversity. :, : : :' Through global exchanges, Bolivia's rich heritage has gained ': ,: commercial prominence. The llama and other images are ubiquitous :, : on souvenirs, artworks and traditional clothing, alongside the : :' enduring traditions of cholitas and indigenous customs that ': ,: have withstood centuries of challenges and continue to be :, : celebrated today. Yet these same exchanges have had a lasting : :' impact on the traditional peoples of the Quechua and Aymara: ': ,: the lure of westernisation the far-reaching effects of :, : centuries-old colonization. : :' ': ,: The album s message is reflected in its artwork: the Wiphala :, : flag of the Aymara is replicated in ice and resin. Each cube : :' filled with earthly elements; flowers, lavender, grass, and ': ,: perched on ice cubes. The image was captured as the ice melted, :, : eroded by external factors, a foreboding consequence of the : :' increasingly warming climate. ': ,: :, : Mario P. Guti rrez, founder of Los Ruphay more than 50 years : :' ago, was a visionary dedicated to preserving and promoting ': ,: Bolivian music. His legacy continues to thrive through the band, :, : which has now entered its sixth decade of creating music. Kimsa : :' Pachanaka is dedicated to his memory. ': ,: :, : Los Ruphay's music pays homage to Pachamama, the World Mother, : :' and promotes the unity, wisdom, and harmony of the Andean ': ,: indigenous people through the Wiphala flag. Mario P. Guti rrez's :, : legacy lives on through Los Ruphay's music, carrying a : :' philanthropic message of hope for the Andean people. Their ': ,: music is a powerful reminder of the rich traditions and enduring :, : spirit of Bolivia and communities that stand proud in the : :' foundations of their heritage.
