Ecuador, 1984, indigenous Andean music / singer-songwriter

Enrique Males – Jarishimi Kichuapi: Five minutes into this album you will sit back and say “I’ve stumbled onto something special here”. So much passion, such mastery and mystery. And the way Males plays his guitar—making it sound almost harp-like! Even without understanding the language, I feel like this music is weaving an entire folk story around me, immersing me in something strange and wonderful.
