Nación Ekeko is an innovative musical project that celebrates the rich tapestry of Latin American rhythms, folklore, and culture through an eclectic fusion of contemporary sounds and traditional influences. Conceived by Argentine musician Diego Pérez, the artist behind the project, Nación Ekeko stands as a testament to the power of music as a unifying force and a means of cultural expression. With its roots firmly planted in the diverse landscapes of South America, the project draws inspiration from the indigenous belief systems, particularly from the Andean cosmology, blending them with modern-day electronic music.

The name itself, "Ekeko," is derived from the Andean god of abundance and prosperity, which reflects the project's intention of spreading richness and diversity through music. Nación Ekeko's body of work showcases an auditory journey through the continent, encapsulating the spirit and struggles of its people. Albums like "En vivo en Tilcara" capture the raw energy of live performance, while singles such as "Juana Azurduy" and "Qomunidad" pay homage to historical figures and social themes. With a passionate embrace of heritage and a forward-looking approach to sound, Nación Ekeko has forged a unique path in the musical landscape, creating an immersive experience that resonates with audiences across borders.
