About
Elly Crampton Chuquimia Quiñones-Tancara, Aymara name Chuquimamani-Condori, is an American electronic music artist, poet and composer. Their music, which combines elements of Andean music and cumbia with electronic music and American genres like crunk and R&B, explores Andean cultural concepts and Latin American queer theory. They make up one half of Los Thuthanaka, along with their brother Joshua Chuquimia Crampton. The two siblings identify with the Pakajaqi nation of Aymara people.
In 2025, they were awarded the Venice Biennale Silver Lion award following the release of Los Thuthanaka's self-titled album that spring. The album was named by Pitchfork as the best album of 2025.
