Bolivian Music
For a long time, Bolivia was dominated by Spain and its attendant culture. Even
after the independence, Bolivian music was largely centered on European forms.

ronroco, zampona, quena, hualaycho, bombo, huancara, pinquillo, tarka, toyos,
reco reco, chiapya box, moseno, Andean saxophone, pututu, and sheep hooves
formed into a kind of shaker and European musical instruments like violin and
guitar. Musical forms like Kullawada, Bailecito, Tonada, Huayno, and Cueca are
conspicuously featured in Bolivia's cultural music.
Bolivian music for a long time was based only on native music. It was in the year 1965; a quartet was formed by Edgar Yayo Jofre called as Los Jairas. At this time folk music gained popularity in almost all parts of the country.

Then later, the groups like Khanata, Wara, Savia Andina, paja Brava and
particularly Los K’jarkas helped a lot to refine this fusion. Following an
adjacent but different path, singers and groups like Ruphay, Luzmila Carpio
