Rural is the first long-play work of Carlos Asimbaya, which sees a fully matured vision of Ecuadorian keyboard tradition catapulted into the futured and rhythmically sustained by the “bomba” percussion; an Afroandean element that bears witness to the unique history of this country. Trained in classical music composition and inspired by jazz music, Kaifo’s repertoire features haunting, extensive melodies and scales that informs listeners on the landscapes of Andean styles while providing a postmodern dancefloor experience. “Rural” finds a proud home under the Eck Echo roof, the house that delivers new and exciting shapes of global bass for our ever-growing audience.
