province of Esmeraldas. More specifically, Afrik'n Homo
Sapiens originated in the parrish of Timbire which forms
part of the comune Rio Santiago- Cayapas.
Introducing
the musical genre “BAO”
"Bao" is a musical genre that was created by
Afrik'n HomoSapiens after nine years of experimenting
with the sounds and rhytms of Ecuador's coastal regions-
such as Bunde, Arrullo, Chigualo, Alabao- and fusing these
with sounds of the carribean such as ska, reggae, calipso
and mentor. The musical instruments used by the band include
home grown percussions such as marimba, bombo, cununo and guasas mixed with modern instruments
suchas the electic guitar and bass.
For
the creation of this musical genre, the band received
musical direction and support from the famous Afro-Ecuadorian
folklorist Mr. Guillermo Ayovi (better known as Papa Roncon).
The members
of the band are:
Raúl
Arroyo - Bombo
Mariana Campa- Back up vocals
