Descripción de Canto a la Mujer de mi Pueblo [ Los kjarkas ]:

Niña de las trenzas negras niña de la soledad morena piel de montañas y pueblos perdidos Luz del fogon que lleva fuego de amor que se aviva Del cielo de tu mirada viene sonrisas de sol y tus manitas morenas caricias de tierra Quien velará tus sueños quien peinará tus trenzas mujercita tus penas se iran al despertar en tu vida el amor y mil secretos la vida abrirá muchos que el tiempo guardó Cuentan que entre los maizales su canto se oye al pasar y por montañas y cerros se lleva los vientos tierno canto de esperanza llevas ternura del valle Mujercita tus penas se iran al despertar en tu vida el amor y mil secretos la vida abrirá muchos que el tiempo guardó The Kjarkas is unquestionably the most representative group of Bolivia they don't only managed to cross borders with their music but they also reach thousands of persons becoming part of their lives touching their harts and feelings. The Kjarkas emerged in 1965 from their beginnings they start to impose their own style creating a new way to interpret folkloric music being the ones that revolutionize the way of thinking and feeling of the folkloric music fans. "Los Kjarkas" born as a quartet that played all kind of folkloric music, specially Argentine Zambas, they played just as diversion and also impelled by an economic necessity. On the other hand, the musicians comment, in those times people wanted to listen to Argentine Zambas. But little by little spaces in wich "Los Kjarkas" can play Bolivian music opened. They have presentations in "peñas" and there is where the group acquires importance, they spread rates like: cuecas, huayños, bailecitos, etc. The Kjarkas of those days were the 3 Hermosa brothers: Wilson, Castel and Gonzalo, Edgar Villaroel who became the guitarist and first voice joined the group. Shortly after three of the members left the group with the purpose of dedicate more time to their professions. After a transition period Gonzalo Hermosa built "Los Kjarkas" again with new talents: Hedí Carpio, Antonio Canelas and Alcides Mejia. Together they went along 10 years of trajectory, and perfectioned their art. They appeared in several scenes of La Paz city. During these years "Los Kjarkas" started performing in several alternative events, and private parties. In 1975 they represented Bolivia in the folkloric musical festival in Brazil , turning this presentation into the first international performance of the group. In 1976, their first album " Bolivia " was recorded and released in Mexico City by the Heriba record company. This album includes nine singles, most of them composed by Gonzalo Hermosa, being " Bolivia " the most representative song, which became a second national anthem. The Kjarkas gradually began to gain popularity national and internationally. New members joined the group, among them two of the Hermosa brothers: Elmer Hermosa and Ulises Hermosa, Gastón Guardia, Guillermo Ponce and Edgar Villaroel. A new and fresh band arise, giving birth to songs composed by Ulises Hermosa that trough the years would become important themes in their musical trajectory. There is no doubt that there were two key elements for the success of the band: the exquisite voice of Elmer Hermosa and the interpretation of the wind instruments by Gastón Guardia. http://www.boliviamall.com/catalog/kjarkas_biografia.php?language=en&osCsid=69c48db7c00664d9d0ebd7bf5e4dc3ee¤cy=USD Con amor desde Paterson New Jersey
