Elysia Crampton Chuquimia’s Mi Tierra Triste Mix 2020 is a compilation of songs that proclaim resistance, survival, pain and love.

A carefully and beautifully selected mix of music from Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, and North America that celebrates indigenous culture and moves through landscapes that continue to be forgotten, displaced, and/or underrepresented. A Bolivian-American musician, producer, composer, and poet Elysia Crampton Chuquimia’s music is a collage of contemporary sounds and samples that honor her Aymara heritage and is guided by her extensive travels through the Americas. Her work touches upon themes such as radical politics, LGBT rights, colonization, and Latinx culture through a wide range of American and Andean music both past and present.

On the 1st of May 2020, the artist released ORCORARA her fifth album via Berlin-based record label PAN. Her work follows fugitives of Christian violence and intergenerational trauma and was originally commissioned and released in 2018 by Centre d’Art Contemporain, Geneva, CH for the first floor at the Biennale de l’Image en Mouvement 2018. All proceeds will go to the American Indian Movement West / AIM SoCal chapters.
