Around the World in 80 Bands - Bolivia


This stop this week is Bolivia, where I've selected the music of Willy Claure as the representation. Bolivia is located between Chile, Argentinia and Brazil, and was founded by Spain during the colonial era. The country has since gone through several military dictatorships in the 1900s, although there have been elections in 2002.
Willy Claure is the stage name
for José Wilfredo Claure Hidalgo. His primarly style of music is the acoustic guitar, with a big influence from Spanish singers and guitarists.
