A shorter and better working link below. The article is interesting, and
certainly the uncovering of that musical treasure will set a landmark in
Ecuadorian music history. I'm not particularly fond of Ecuadorian music,
but if the entire master tapes of one pioneering Ecuadorian record label
has been found, it deserves some attention.
Mr. Rota, plans to digitalise and preserve that treasure for public access,
surely could deserve some ARSC funding. I suggest ARSC board to approach
Mr. Rota, and encourage him to document and rationalise his plans, applying
for an ARSC grant!
