Los Kusis de Bolivia
Portrait
The band "Los Kusis de Bolivia" was founded in Cochabamba in 1967 by Eufronio Sanchez. It stays based there until heading for La Paz.
The band consisting of three members at that time travels through many south-american countries, where it represents its own country at different festivals, radios and tv broadcasters. With records being published, the fame of the band rises in the south-american continent. "Los Kusis" bids farewell to their homeland in september 1974 with the mission to represent the bolivian music and traditions as well as the original culture of the Incas (quechuas and aymarás) in all of Europe and specially in Switzerland. They carry on with concerts, festivals, radio and tv sessions and record new discs.
