Answer to Question 1

 Otavalo music is performed by Quichua musicians from the Otavalo Valley of Imbabura (a province in the Andes of Northern Ecuador)see Cotacachi, a town in Imbabura Province on map of Ecuador in WOM.
 The Otavalo Quichua musical-ensemble renaissance is evident from Lynn Meisch's listing of numerous long-playing records recorded from 1970 to 1986nearly all of which were recorded in Ecuador and contained only Ecuadorian music. . . . Otavalo music performed by Quichua Indigenous musicians has now become globalized, part of the world music beat influencing the music made by others, with Sanjuanitos adaptations of sanjuanes seen as emblematic of Ecuadorian music WOM citing Meisch, 1997.
