My grandmother was fluent in Aymara, one of the main languages spoken throughout the Andes and heard in this song. This track flips a sample from an Andean folk record and is dedicated to Tupac Katari, a historical figure associated with rebellion and the lucha for independence (Katar and Tupac Shakur were named in honor of the same individual).
