How to Listen to Bolivian Radio Online

Published 24 September 2026

You can stream Bolivian radio live in any browser, with no download and no account: open 72FM's Bolivia page, choose a station and press play. Radio matters in Bolivia in a way it does in few places: across the Andes and the lowlands it has long been the medium that reaches everyone, in Spanish and in Aymara, Quechua and Guaraní.

The big stations

• Radio Panamericana — on air since 1972, with news, sport and culture across the country, and the most-voted Bolivian station in the directory by a long way.
• Radio Fides — founded by the Jesuits in 1939, and one of Bolivia's best-known news stations.
• ATB Radio — news from one of the national media groups.
• FM La Paz 96.7 — music and news from the capital.

Radio in Aymara and Quechua

Bolivia's 2009 constitution made Spanish and 36 indigenous languages official; the most widely spoken are Quechua, Aymara and Guaraní. Radio has carried them for decades — from the miners' stations of the mid-20th century, which broadcast in Quechua and Aymara to mining towns and farming communities, to the stations of today. In the directory:

• Radio Aymara — culture, music and news from La Paz.
• Radio Qhana and Radio Kollasuyo — more stations from the Altiplano.
• Radio Chacaltaya — La Paz, named after the mountain above the city.

Music stations

• Radio Cumbia 90s — cumbia from the 1990s, and one of the most-voted Bolivian streams.
• Clásica 100.3 Cochabamba — Latin music.
• Radio Folklórica Uyuni and Red Uyuni: Radio Recuerdos — folk and old favourites from Potosí.
• Big Radio Bolivia — caporales, cueca, huayño, saya and taquirari from Santa Cruz.
• Stereo 97 — alternative, pop and rock.
• Radio Disney Bolivia — pop and hits.

The sounds that come from here

Folk and festival music. The brass bands and dances of the Andean festivals — morenada, caporales, diablada — are the sound of Bolivia's great carnivals, above all Oruro's, which UNESCO recognised in 2001.

Andean folk. Huayño, cueca and the music of panpipes and charango are everywhere on regional radio.

Lowland rhythms. Taquirari and other styles from Santa Cruz and the east have a different, sunnier sound.

Cumbia. On the FM dial, cumbia — Bolivian and imported — is what most people dance to.

Listening from abroad

Many Bolivians live in Argentina, Spain, Brazil, Chile and the United States, and radio from home keeps them close to it. Bolivia keeps UTC−4 all year, with no summer time. Expat radio covers the habit.

A route in
