But the good thing about #RabbitHoles are they lead you to new places. I started listening to #LuzmilaCarpio as I reviewed her discography, and I kept listening even after I thought it might be a dead end.
Her recordings are often very simple, with just an acoustic guitar, some percussion, and some other harp/stringed instrument. She sings with a very distinctive voice and is often accompanied by several other singers.
It was while listening to a self-titled release this morning that the tune of "Mariposita" floated up to my ears --- is this it, I thought?
I listened closer --- yes! The tune is from Carpio, indeed, but under a different name, "Pilpintu," which you can hear here:

I poked around a few other search results for "Mariposita" on different platforms but had no luck.
So I went back to the credits to the Elhajli album on Bandcamp --- which are not present on the front page of the album, but songwriting credits are given on individual tracks.
That's when I noticed a name, #LuzmilaCarpio. Carpio is an artist whose work also catalogs and represents Quechuan traditions and language -- cool, so I'll look her up.
But as I looked through the tracklists for different albums I could find from Carpio, I didn't see the name "Mariposita" anywhere --- bummer, especially considering she's released a lot of albums.
So the search was still on...
