Overview
Music of the Americas continues its online video series En Casa (At Home), featuring original daily performances with musicians from around the Americas, and Recuerdos (Memories), weekly releases of memorable past performances at the Americas Society, some available for the first time.
Our Recuerdos series takes a brief hiatus as we dedicate this week and focus our En Casa series on talented musicians from Ecuador.
Follow Music of the Americas on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter to watch and receive notifications of all the performances. We also publish weekly calendars here on our website, including all the videos, so you can return to this page to catch up on any performances you might have missed.
This week is dedicated to musicians from Ecuador, curated by Fabiola Pazmiño, who is not only Production Coordinator at the Fundación Teatro Nacional Sucre de Quito, where she has worked on everything from opera to international jazz tours, but also a poet. She selected five groups from the wealth of talent that exists in her country to create a varied and multilingual week of En casa videos.
