POP 020724 Music from Ecuador & Portland
Music from Ecuador Portland and Points Between

My wife and I had an incredible 4 week vacation in Ecuador in December. We got to visit the Andes Mountains. famous Market in Otavalo, the Equator, and two visits to the Ecuadorian Amazon Rain Forest, one for 4 days. Alas, we didn’t get to catch any live music. So I did a lot of research on indigenous music of northern Ecuador when I returned to Portland, and discovered a vast wealth of traditional and contemporary music, a fraction of which I’m sharing with you in in the second half hour of this program.

The last half hour of the show features music from much closer to (my) home- right here in Portland.

The 35th Annual Winterfolk benefit concert was Saturday February 3. Winterfolk was founded by and has been produced by Portland’s beloved Folk Music Troubadour and author Tom May. It’s a highlight of the musical year in Portland. Featured performers have included Utah Phillips, Rosalie Sorrels, Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul & Mary), Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer, and the firmament of Portland’s folk music luminaries including Kate Power & Steve Einhorn, Misty River, David Rea, Doug Smith, Sky in the Road, and Kevin Burke. This episode of Pastures of Plenty features performances from past Winterfolk concerts by Tom May and Tracy Grammer, plus Kate Power & Steve Einhorn recorded live on Pastures of Plenty in 2009.

Sadly, veteran KBOO dj Henry Weeks died on December 14. Henry and Moggy Vanderkin hosted Dawnbreakers Breakdown every other Friday on the KBOO Folk Strip from the early 2000s until April 2015. Henry and Moggy were also hosts of Swingin’ Country on Saturday mornings for many years. Henry had a quick wit and amazingly eclectic taste in music, and I’ll play a song in his honor at the end of the show.
