Ukamao!
'Ukamao' is a phrase from Aymara, a language spoken by Native Indians in Bolivia and Peru. It roughly translates as 'it is so'.
Los Callejeros learned about this piece of wisdom during an interview with Bolivian musician Raul Uriarte, while shooting the video clip 'Via del Sonqo'. Raul spoke about the fact that many people are constantly looking for an explanation as to why things happen the way they do. But in Aymara, there is an answer to this question : 'Ukamao'. It is so, so it is.
"Ukamao!" has been released on CD and vinyl.
