Juan Manuel Tapia aka Tapacampeon is a Bolivian DJ, vinyl collector and anthropologist whose work explores music as a form of cultural memory and identity. His selections are informed by ongoing archival research - especially on Bolivian music - and by a broad interest in sound from different parts of the world. He shares parts of his archive online and approaches contemporary and older recordings with the same curiosity.
