Chila Jatun
Chila Jatun (also written as Ch'ila Jatun, whose translation from Quechua to Spanish means "Little Greats") is a Bolivian folk music group, formed by eight young people from Cochabamba. The founding members of Chila Jatun are Gonzalo Hermosa Camacho (musical director), Jonathan Hermosa Andresen (vocals and ronroco), Huáscar Hermosa Castro (second guitar), Ulises Hermosa Fernández (first guitar), Luis Medrano Hermosa (charango, music producer and sound engineer), Branly Yáñez Enríquez (drums), Mario Orellana Olivares (Andean winds) and Luis Hinojosa Heredia (bass). It is worth noting that five of them are cousins and share not only their youth but also the rich tradition associated with the Hermosa surname, linked to Los Kjarkas.
In 2014, Chila Jatun was awarded the highest distinction awarded by the Plurinational State of Bolivia, the Condor of the Andes in the rank of "Knight", in recognition of their outstanding work. They participated in the fifty-fifth edition of the Viña del Mar International Song Festival.
Chila Jatun has won the category of Best Folk Group for three consecutive years, from 2021 to 2023, at the Bolivia Music Awards. They also stand out with two awards for Best Collaboration in 2022 and 2023, consolidating them as a leading figure in the Bolivian folk music scene.
