‘Since the 16th century, the Ecuadorian province of Esmeraldas has been
home to a unique Afro-Indigenous culture originating in the integration of the
Indigenous Chachi and Nigua peoples with African Maroon communities. Juyungo
documents significant Esmeraldan artists and bands playing the Afro-Ecuadorian
folklore of the province, as well as including some older field recordings.
Based mostly on the marimba, whose origins lie partly in the African balafon,
partly in Indigenous percussion instruments, the music is laced with call and
response chants, ambient insect and bird noise, the filigree finger-styles of
the Andean guitar tradition and the panpipes of the mountains. This is resonant
insider roots music at its headiest — the mystic revelation of
Esmeraldas, gully deep and lustral.’ Francis Gooding, The Wire.

The music is transfixing, magical; not like anything else. From start to finish,
this album is continuously, profoundly immersive; a kind of journeying, trippy
meditation about slavery and cultural resistance, identity and mix, places and
spaces, futures and pasts. It’s inscrutable to net-surfing, algorithms,
Shuffle. But for a taste try the insurgent marimba roller Agua Largo,
jet-propelled by Rosa Huila’s rapturous blend of African spiritualist and
Christian chant. ‘Healing music,’ Zakia called it on Gilles
Peterson’s BBC show recently. And the ravishing pasillo Kasilla Shungulla
— ‘calm your heart’ in the Quichua language — a duet
between the Peruvian master-guitarist Raúl García Zárate and viola da
gamba by Juan Luis Restrepo from Medellin, recorded in a baroque church in
Buzbanza, Colombia.
