Alas from Rinakaruy by Paykuna
Alas is inspired by the vivid colours of the bolivian rainforest. It takes only six hours by bus (five if you happen to get a daring driver) from the andean city of Cochabamba to a tropical region called Chapare. Dense forests and winding rivers shape the landscapes. Deep in the heart of the woods you'll hear ongoing sound textures of the forestal beings communicating with each other. This piece attempts to capture the transition from the andean highlands to this tropical world and its vividness.

Earthy, knitted and deep. Paykuna's approach is the symbiosis of Bolivian folk music and modern jazz aesthetics. This band is the creation of swiss-bolivian pianist Demian Coca, who’s compositions are multi-layered soundscapes, full of rhythmic variety and vivid melodies. Paykuna takes the listener on to a journey, somewhere between the rainforests of Amazonia and the deep lakes of Switzerland.
