Walka is a group formed in 2002 by indigenous Kichwa musicians who self-taught traditional music unique to the Andes and have undergone numerous musical activities in Europe and North America.

 

They are also creating new genres of music that incorporate elements of Native American and Anglo-Saxon folklore music.

Soon after, in 2005, they released second album, "Tushui," with some instrumental compositions with rhythms and melodies enriched also by Native North American aerophones. This production was based on their experience of interacting with various Native Americans in the United States.
