Description

Concluding our so called South America batch comes this Andean mix from Tomás Tello, a Peruvian artist now residing in Tavira, Portugal.

Using field recordings of the region, noise experiments and classic Latin songs, Tello creaties an absorbing and enigmanic soundscape of the continent’s Andean culture.

The mix is named after the Ekeko, a Tiwanakan (pre Columbian civilization), a god of abundance and prosperity in the mythology and folklore of the people from the Andean Altiplano. Popular in Bolivia, Cochabamba, and neighboring regions, like southeast of Peru, northern Argentina and northern Chile.
