Ekeko Mix: Sonidos Transporta Suenos

Concluding Sucata Tapes' South America batch comes this Andean mix from Tomás Tello, a Peruvian artist now residing in Tavira, Portugal.

The mix is named after the Ekeko, a Tiwanakan (pre Columbian civilization), a god of abundance and prosperity in the mythology and folklore of the people from the Andean Altiplano.
