In the quarter of a century since, the group has performed in South America, the United States, Europe, Japan and Scandanavia. After working their way around Bolivia, L'Kjarkas performed in Brazil in 1975 as representatives of their homeland in the first Folklore and Dance Festival. As of 1999, the band featured Gonzalo and Elmer Hermosa Gonzalez, Gaston Guardia Bilboa, Eduardo Yanez Loayza (guitar, vocals), Jose Luis Morales Rodriguez (charango, vocals) and Rolando Malpartida Porcel (percussion, strings and vocals). Shortly after De La Serna left the group, in 1992, Ulises Hermosa Gonzalez succumbed to cancer. The mainstay of Kjarkas remains songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Gonzalo Hermosa Gonzalez, who formed the band with his brothers Elmer (lead vocals) and Ulises, Gaston Guardia Bilboa (wind instruments, vocals) and Ramino De La Serna. The following year, they founded a similar school, "La Fundacion Kjarkas" in Ecuador. In 1993, they founded the "Musical School of Kjarkas" in Lima, Peru. In addition to recording twenty-three albums over three decades, the Bolivia-based group has played a major role in the development of educational centers for instruction in Andean folk music. Los Kjarkas is one of the most influential bands in the Andes Mountians region.
