AWANA

AWANA

Project that gathers more that 40 musicians from more than 25 countries around all continents in one album of tradicional/popular Ecuadorian Music.

This album reunites some of the most representative genres from Ecuador giving to the world a very good spectrum of the huge diversity that this country has culturally.

Gerson believes that this album would make Ecuador resonate in all the countries around the world by also showing how musicians and people form all these very different cultures can come together to create something as beautiful as AWANA erasing all borders or any conflict.

The

Art & Concept

Fabrics have been always a way to carry memories, history, numbers, art and much more about cultures. They represent entire countries. That´s why AWANA builds it`s concept on a fabric.

The colors and the direction is based on a traditional very representative fabric from the Kichwa Culture, one of the biggest ethnic groups in Ecuador.

Indigenous are world wide known as amazing artisans and they have a very wonderful meaning for the word AWANA. In Kichwa language it means ¨lets weave collectively, lets weave memories, stories¨ That`s why this project takes the name of AWANA, to embrace the ancestral indigenous culture and to perfect fit all the colors and textures that all these music and instruments creates together.
