Explain what Otavalo music is and tell how this music illustrates the Andean ensemble phenomenon
What will be an ideal response?
• Otavalo music is performed by Quichua musicians from the Otavalo Valley of Imbabura (a province in the Andes of Northern Ecuador)—see Cotacachi, a town in Imbabura Province on map of Ecuador in WOM.
• "The Otavalo Quichua musical-ensemble renaissance is evident from Lynn Meisch's listing of numerous long-playing records recorded from 1970 to 1986—nearly all of which were recorded in Ecuador and contained only Ecuadorian music. . . . Otavalo music [performed by Quichua Indigenous musicians] has now become globalized, part of the world music beat influencing the music made by others, with Sanjuanitos [adaptations of sanjuanes] seen as emblematic of Ecuadorian music [WOM citing Meisch, 1997]."
