Ecuatoriana - El Universo Paralelo de Polibio Mayorga

this collection highlights one of the Andean Cumbia pioneers - daring and visionary, with an intrepid vigorous style almost impossible to imitate, Mayorga's trailblazing brand of tropicalia flirted with avant-garde sounds, a hybrid of cumbia rhythms and traditional tunes, bringing music into the space age in an elaborated sonic fourish with electronic instruments.

Polibio has never considered his music to be "tropical psychedelia" - although he thinks it would make a good name for a band. He has the sense of humour of a genius and the ability to make anyone laugh, yet he remains discreet, eloquent and humble ... but as a musician he is daring and visionary, with an intrepid, vigorous style almost impossible to imitate. More than perhaps any of his peers, Polibio Mayorga established a unique place for himself at the vanguard of tropical music.
