Los Huayra is an Argentine folk music ensemble known for their soulful melodies and rich vocal harmonies. They hail from Salta, a province with deep musical traditions in the northwest of Argentina. The group, whose name pays homage to the Quechua word for wind ("wayra"), was formed in 2005 and has since garnered a dedicated following both in their home country and internationally.

Throughout their career, Los Huayra have been praised for their skillful blending of traditional Andean instruments with contemporary pop and rock elements, creating a sound that respects its roots while also remaining fresh and relevant. Their discography features a collection of albums that showcase their commitment to cultural storytelling and their versatility as musicians. Key releases such as "Huayras," "Gira," "Identidad," and "Vivo" highlight the evolution of their style and their ability to resonate with audiences beyond the folk genre. "Misa Criolla" and "Codigo de Barro" in particular reflect their deep connection to their cultural heritage, while songs like "Hoy" and "La Luz de la Ciudad" exhibit their ability to craft reflective and emotive music that transcends borders. Los Huayra continues to enchant fans with their innovative music and remains a cherished group in the Latin American music scene.
