Altiplano was formed in Vallenaren, Chile in 1976, and,
with the guidance of the band Diabla Boliviana, they were
able to learn the technique and mystique of blowing, which
would mark their own musical style. By 1979, Altiplano had
performed all over Chile. Recorded their disc, "El
cantar Andino," and were even invited to perform on
Ecuadorian television and record their LP, "Altiplano
al Ritmo Endiablado."
Between 1980 and 1984 the group dedicated itself to musical
research and learning about Ecuadorian culture. They participated
in indigenous celebrations and gave concerts throughout
the country.
In 1984-1985 Altiplano toured in Europe for the first time.
They later returned to Ecuador and participated in variuous
concerts in the country.
From 1985 to 1988 the band not only recorded their album, "Mas alla de los Andes" but also filmed a music
video, gave seminars, and guidance to other music groups.
From 1989 to 1999, Altiplano toured all over Europe with
other musicians such as Pablo Milanes and Mercedes Sosa.
In the 24 years that Altiplano has existed as a band, they
have recorded 5 LPs and 12 CDs which demonstrate their different
musical styles. The six-member band includes Ramiro Acosta,
Pepe Ubilla, Fernando Villablanca, Mauricio Vicencio, Estanislao
Cruz, and Stalin Gonzalez.
