    Honest Jon's survey the last, bohemian flowering of the so-called Golden Era of Ecuadorian musica national, before the oil boom and incoming musical styles - especially cumbia - swept away its achingly beautiful, phantasmagorical, utopian juggling of indigenous and mestizo traditions.

    Forms like the tonada, albazo, danzante, yaravi, carnaval, and sanjuanito; the yambo, with roots in pre-Incan ritual, and the pasillo, a take on the Viennese waltz, arriving through the Caribbean via Portugal and Spain.
