Los Kjarkas is a Bolivian band, one of the most popular Andean pop bands in the region's history. Their music was blatantly plagiarized by a couple of French producers, 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). They have toured across Japan, Europe and Scandinavia, the United States and South America.

The band's leader has always been singer, guitarist and songwriter Gonzalo Hermosa Gonzalez, who formed the band with his brothers Elmer Hermosa Gonzalez and Ulises Hermosa Gonzalez, as well as Gaston Guardia Bilboa and Ramiro de la Zerda. De la Zerda left group and Ulises Hermosa died of cancer, replaced by Eduardo Yanez Loayza, Rolando Malpartida Porcel and Jose Luis Morales Rodriguez.
