Los Thuthanaka’s Joshua Chuquimia Crampton has announced a new album. Anata arrives on February 6 on Puro Fantasía, and a lead single, “Ch’uwanchaña ~El Golpe Final~” is out now. You can listen to the song, and check out Anata’s cover art, below.
“This album is dedicated to Anata, the Andean ceremony where we celebrate the Pachamama (Mother Earth) before the rainy season, giving thanks for harvest with offerings & the principle of reciprocity (Ayni) between humans/nature,” Chuquimia Crampton wrote in a statement. “I present it in a production style much like trying to capture a ceremony or a natural phenomenon with a phone camera.”
An Anata release show is set for February 6 in San Francisco, in collaboration with Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits (BAAITS) and Sacramento Red Road Gathering. The event will feature a screening of Amaru’s Tongue: Daughter—a film Chuquimia Crampton made with his sibling and Los Thuthanaka bandmate Chuquimamani-Condori—a live performance, and an intertribal healing circle. Learn more about the event here.
Anata is Chuquimia Crampton’s first new LP since the self-titled Los Thuthanaka, which he surprise-released with Chuquimamani-Condori in March 2025. The duo performed songs from Los Thuthanaka at Pitchfork’s 2025 holiday party. Chuquimia Crampton released his most recent solo album, Star by Starin 2024.
