Kjarkas
Los Kjarkas is a Bolivian band, one of the most popular Andean pop bands in the region's recent history. Their most popular song, "Llorando se Fue", with some of its basic melodies and harmonies being based on Bolivian popular music of public domain, was licenced by French producers, Jean Karakos and Olivier Lorsac which resulted in Kaoma's hit, Lambada. Kjarkas also founded two schools focusing on Andean folk music, the Musical School of Kjarkas (Lima, Peru) and La Fundacion Kjarkas (Ecuador).
