From my perspective, the Hazel Burns mix could have had more low end and not stay in the mids as much; however, this does not detract from the excellent sound achieved in this excellent work which confirms something mentioned earlier in this column: Ecuador is a very musical country as a whole, not only in cities like Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca. Music is present in all its surroundings.

Arupo and his new number are here to stay. I hope to continue listening to more music from this interesting project that put a lot of effort into sound and visuals. Something that usually escapes or is overlooked by certain artists. (OR)
