A Grand Celebration: Founding member Rodolfo Choque promises an unforgettable experience: “We won’t talk much,” he declares. “We’ll play for 3 hours and 30 minutes, showcasing 35 songs that span our entire repertoire!” The concert will be a visual feast as well, featuring cutting-edge audio, lighting, and stage effects.
A Journey Through Music: Fans can expect a mix of new and old favorites, from classics like “Aguas Claras” and “Cuando florezca el chuño” to recent hits like “Elenita” and “Salvaje.” Kala Marka will also be premiering a brand new pujllay (lively dance music) track, “Caballito blanco.”
Beyond the Music: The concert is more than just a performance; it’s a celebration of Bolivian culture. Choque reflects on Kala Marka’s journey, from humble beginnings to international acclaim. He emphasizes the importance of preserving Aymara and Quechua traditions, and the power of music to connect people across borders.
