‘Cabuya’ is the new EP that Joaquín brings us from Ecuador, a sonic journey that explores sensitive and enveloping landscapes. Most of the EP was produced during an electric shortage in Ecuador that lasted for almost 4 months due to a severe drought and political corruption. Having no electricity for most part of the day led Joaquin to focus on acoustic compositions in order to create a space for hope and tranquility, while living through another symptom of the current socio-ecological collapse.
Inspired by spiritual jazz and the nuances of ambient music Cornejo weaves a musical universe where each track is a thread that evokes interconnectedness and pause.
