Product Description

The music on Ecuador: El Grito de Libertad expresses the frustration of the urban poor, working class, and peasants, despite reforms promised by industrialization and oil production. Songs incorporate traditional Andean instruments such as the pingullo (cane flute) and charango (stringed instrument with armadillo body). Liner notes in Spanish and English include song lyrics, considerable contextual background on Ecuador in the 1970s, and information on the band Jatari (whose name means rise up in the indigenous language Quechua).
