Pasillos de antologia

Julio Jaramillo’s “Pasillos de antologia” on Sonolux gathers the Ecuadorian vocalist’s definitive interpretations of the pasillo, a melancholic vocal form rooted in Andean tradition. Jaramillo’s warm baritone and ornamental phrasing became synonymous with the genre during the mid-20th century, transforming regional folk material into sophisticated popular song. This anthology captures the emotional depth and technical mastery that established him as Latin America’s premier interpreter of romantic balladry.
