Sadly, Musica Nacional is less and less popular these days in

Ecuador.  Not too many years ago, no respectable civic event, parade or celebration took place without a "banda".   "Bandas" rock!

Everybody Loves a Parade - April 7

We began this music video, dedicated to their mother, from Cocha Marka's CD "Auki" last year and decided that it was too sad to complete.  I did finish a version with the video tape we shot in two days.  Cocha Marka is one of Otavalos best loved folklore groups!

Music Video, Cocha Marka's "Recuerdo Eterno"

While I am converting all of my videos to Windows Media 10  format (no small task) I will post these videos of a free concert performed by Yarina during the protests in March!  These are "stand and shoot" videos, badly compressed, but great music!

An Otavalo Music Video with Yarina

While I am converting all of my videos to Windows Media 10  format (no small task) I will post these videos of a free concert performed by Yarina during the protests in March!  I found this Video CD made by Cesar dj for $1.00 in the market the other day.

Another excellent concert from  this pirated Video CD for sale at one of the many kiosks selling CDs during the Saturday market.  The very popular folklore group Yarina presented free concerts and those concerts were videoed and ripped by Cesar dj.  Enjoy.

An Otavalo Music Video with Yarina

My first music video.  The Ali Shungu house band played every Friday night for over ten years.  They are in the US now, hopefully receiving the recognition they deserve.  See this  mediocre video to hear the excellent Andean tune. 

Not a very good Music Video, but Great Music! - Dec. 15

He was sure that she was his girl, but he sees her walking with another guy.

While working in the fields, a bevy of beautiful dancers appears.  He is in love!

Part 4, Otavalo San Juanito  by Inti Raymi of Punyaro


That guy was her sister's husband.  Oh!  Let us celebrate marriage and fertility.

Part 3, Otavalo San Juanito, " Yo No Se Porque" by Inti Raymi


It is too much to bear.  He sits in misery, drinking chicha in the local cantina.
