The US-based artist ElFavioPues has released a single titled ‘ECUADOR’ to promote his national roots within the global urban music industry. Additionally, the ‘Nuestra Música’ season, organized by the Centro Cultural Mama Cuchara of the Fundación Teatro Nacional Sucre, is showcasing various aspects of the country’s sonic landscape throughout October. This program includes Andean instruments, choral music, academic compositions, and tributes to figures such as Eduardo ‘Chocolate’ Morales, expanding beyond the traditional ‘pasillo’ genre. In the Tungurahua province, the Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana Núcleo de Tungurahua recently hosted an event to celebrate and preserve the nation’s sonic heritage. The ceremony honored academic leaders for their contributions to musical education, specifically recognizing Félix Amancha, rector of the Conservatorio Bolívar de Ambato, and Patricio Acosta, rector of the Conservatorio La Merced.
