Humazapas, Cotacachi, (AND BOYDS, MD)
HUMAZAPAS is one of Ecuador's leading performing groups. They beautifully interpret the Kichwa indigenous dance and music of Ecuador's highland community of Cotacachi, a city and county located in the nation's northern province of Imbabura. Their avante guard musical innovations are unique in the genre of Ecuadorian and Andes Mountains traditional music. Celebrating ten years of researching and interpreting their Kichwa traditions, in June of 2023 Humazapas released its first album, Sara Mama (music of the corn), on the AYA Records label.
Humazapas' many stage presentations include a well-received tour of France in the fall of 2022. The group also toured Mexico in November of 2023.
