Ecuatoriana #1 & #2 – Pre-Recorded
What is playing in Ecuador, and how do those musical waves reach New York? “Ecuatoriana” is a radio show that digs and selects popular and alternative music made in the middle of the world—old, modern, and contemporary—for the Ecuayorquina diaspora. It plays music so you can feel Ecuador in New York.
Hosted by Marcos EcheverrĂa Ortiz, whom is an Ecuadorian award-winning interdisciplinary journalist, photographer, and documentary maker based in New York City. Through mixed forms of media, he focuses on narrating stories connected to music, memory, social movements, and immigration. For the last ten years, he has written, filmed, and photographed the underground music scene of Latin America.
Following the pilot, episode #2 of Ecuatoriana explores the sonic life of Jinsop (+), the beloved Korean-American Ecuadorian singer. Although he is mainly known for his balada and pop songs, Jinsop initially experimented with soul and rock n roll in the early 1970s, during the foundational years of Ecuadorian Rock. During this hour, we discover how Ecuadorian rock has a hint of melancholic Korean anima in this all vinyl set.

Guayaquil welcomed Salsa, and later, the culture traveled throughout the nation. What are the connections between Ecuador and NYC’s 1970s salsa scene? What are Ecuadorian salsa’s personalities, places, and historical songs? In this episode, Amaranta Pico and Lucky Lenin, two researchers and cultural promoters, share their knowledge of history, the street, and salsa.Â
