Arak Pacha is a group deeply rooted in the cultural expression of indigenous Andean music, infusing ancestral sounds with contemporary influences. Originating from the highlands, the band was formed with the intent of spreading awareness of Andean culture, traditions, and the socio-political struggles of the indigenous peoples. Their music is characterized by the use of traditional wind, string, and percussion instruments, including well-known ones such as the pan flute (zampoña) and charango, as well as lyrics that often delve into themes of resistance, nature, and the preservation of their cultural identity.

Over the years, Arak Pacha has built an expansive discography, becoming an important voice in world music dedicated to the indigenous cause. Their album "Tupac Amaru 500 Años" is a tribute to the iconic indigenous leader Tupac Amaru II, marking the 500th year since his birth and underlining the struggle against colonial oppression. Their anthology volumes "La Voz de la Tierra" showcase a thoughtful collection of the band's work, highlighting their ability to seamlessly blend Andean folklore with a global sound. "Por los Senderos del Indio" continues this legacy, weaving narratives of indigenous pathways and resilience. The self-titled album "Arak Pacha" captures the essence of the group's identity, delivering a sound that is both vibrant and imbued with historical significance. Through their music, Arak Pacha invites listeners to a deeper understanding of Andean culture, and the ongoing connection between past and present.
