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! After watching the video, click here for a great sound byte. |

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! |

While I am converting all of my videos to Adobe Flash 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! |

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. |

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! |

Part 2, Otavalo San Juanito, "Maria" by Inti Raymi of Punyaro |
|
He was sure that she was his girl, but he sees her walking with another guy. |
|
Part 1, Otavalo San Juanito by Inti Raymi of Punyaro |
|
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. |
|
He appears at all of the markets at one time or another. There is no one like him. He is the only one-man-band of Otavalo. Once part of a group that traveled the Americas, he now works alone. His name is Luis Alberto Cotacachi and he is one of a kind! |

With Adobe Flash Player V. 10 you can stream some of our Otavalo movies. They are best viewed with a high speed connection. Enjoy. |

Rodrigo, Jaime and Hernan Pineda are the three brothers that make up the well known Andean Folklore Group SAMY. They also produce instruments at their workshop in Peguche, Ecuador. They speak of the significance of each instrument in each fiesta. |

Samy is one of Otavalo's most beloved folklore music groups. This is an hour long Television special produced by UTV in Quito, Ecuador. The Pineda brothers have been playing music all of their lives and they hope you enjoy the show! |
