A precious compilation spotlighting the folk music of Ecuador's Esmeraldas province, where in the 16th century the indigenous Chachi and Nigua peoples merged with African Maroon communities to forge a sound all their own. Marimba-driven performances, field recordings, and fingerstyle guitar resonate together with great delicacy. Deeply healing music.

The renowned HONEST JON'S turns its reissue attention to Afro-Ecuadorian folk music! Shaped by a cultural背景 of slavery and resistance, it evolved into something entirely its own: Ecuador's rootsy marimba music alongside traditional Andean guitar and panpipes, call-and-response chants, and the African currents that flowed into them — music with no equal. What makes this one especially unique is the layering of old field recordings, unfolding a sonic trip that transcends past and future. Includes a full-color 16-page booklet!
