Los Koyas is a folk music group composed of five soloists who perform musical pieces and songs of twelve Latin American countries, from the Andes to Cuba.
Created in 1970 by Domingo Fontana, the group started its career with a tour of 128 concerts in France during the winter of 1970-1971. Its main recordings, distributed worldwide by the Barclay Records label, contributed to the spread of Latin American traditional music in many countries.
If titles such as El condor pasa and Virgenes del sol are among the tunes that allowed the group to stand out a few months after its creation, a varied repertoire is the trademark of Los Koyas when performing on stage, using many popular instruments such as:
- the Andean flutes (quena, quenacho, siku)
- the harp (from Paraguay, Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico)
- the charango (the 10-string instrument sometimes made with an armadillo shell) and the ronroco
- the cuatro, a small 4-string guitar from Colombia and Venezuela
- the guitar
- the violin
- rhythm instruments such as the bombo, the guiro, the maracas, the bongos...
In 2009, Los Koyas released an album to which Jaime Torres, the charango soloist from Argentina, brings his personal touch.

Los, Sweden
Los is a locality situated in Ljusdal Municipality, Gävleborg County, Sweden with 387 inhabitants in 2010.
The village is known for its 18th-century cobalt mine, where Axel Fredrik Cronstedt discovered the chemical element of nickel in 1751. Today, the mine is a tourist attraction.
An 8-kilometre-wide crater on Mars was officially named after this village in 1979. The crater is located at 35.4°N and 76.3°W on the Martian surface.

List of craters on Mars: H-N
This is a list of craters on Mars. There are hundreds of thousands of impact crater on Mars, but only some of them have names. This list here only contains named Martian craters starting with the letter H – N (see also lists for A – G and O – Z).
Large Martian craters (greater than 60 km in diameter) are named after famous scientists and science fiction authors; smaller ones (less than 60 km in diameter) get their names from towns on Earth. Craters cannot be named for living people, and small crater names are not intended to be commemorative - that is, a small crater isn't actually named after a specific town on Earth, but rather its name comes at random from a pool of terrestrial place names, with some exceptions made for craters near landing sites. Latitude and longitude are given as planetographic coordinates with west longitude.
