---|---|
Born | October 1, 1979 |
Grupo illiniza (also illiniza) is a cultural association from Ecuador specializing in Popular Latin American music since 1979. It is recognized as one of the most important musical ensembles in the musical recent history of the country.
History
Grupo illiniza was established in 1979 with the idea of culturally linking and preserving the different nationalities and music of the communities that make up Latin America. It began at the Instituto Nacional Mejía, made up of city youth, some of whom were quite concerned about the reality of the time and wanted to do something proactive in order to positively change things.
To talk about Latin America, its music and traditions, means speaking about its cultural identity. Only by getting closer to those communities that still preserve the roots of their nationhood and engaging with their different cultural manifestations (i.e. song, music, dance, art), can we begin to understand the reasons for their behavior, assess their roles in history and their struggles to preserve an ancient, multicultural heritage that has defied the incessant alienation to which it has been subjected.
The members of the group are generally invited to tour European or American countries with the purpose of sharing their repertoire which is varied and elaborate, demonstrating instrumental and vocal virtuosity in festivals and concerts that include performing genres such as Fusion, World Music, Folk, Latin, Trova, Afro Caribbean, Andean, and Nueva Canción, among others.

Awards and Distinctions
In 2010 illiniza received several Awards in a national music composition contest entitled Canción de los Andes which is organized yearly by the Education Ministry of Ecuador. The categories include Innovation of Musical Genre and Execution of musical instruments [3]
Throughout their musical career, the Association has received several National and International awards and distinctions including trophies, gold and silver medals, certifications in European as well as American music and dance competitions, festivals and concert participations. They have also been awarded the prestigious title Ambassadors of Art and Friendship in Belgium.
Two books and other publications cite Grupo Illiniza as a reference in various musical genres. These include Andean Music [4] and Ecuadorian Musical Groups. [5]
