este Blog es dedicado a mis compatriotas musicos que se encuentran en el exterior viviendo su musica pero siempre recordando e inspirandose en nuestra querida tierra.
Me gustaria saber de sus experiencias y en donde se encuentran para mantener un dialogo, conocernos entre nosotros y compartir nuestro regalo musical con todos los que oigan y lean nuestros articulos y conversaciones.
Comenzando con migo, Soy Ivan Najera nacido en Quito en el anio 1953.
Durante la ninez y la juventud cantaba y tocaba la guitarra con mis hermanos y hermanas (11 en total) en colegios kermeses, fiestad y luego en competencias intercolegiales para terminar en la radio y en television en programas como el de Fredy Hellers, “Gente Joven”.
Vivo aca ya mas de treinta anios y mi musica nunca a parado. He evolucionado en una fusion de ritmos desde flamenco, jazz latino/americano, y musica desde tropical a folklorica en una expresion mia. Tengo un grupo de 7 musicos magnificos que ellos tambien ya han recorrido muchas etapas musicales, otros mas jovenes que traen sangre fresca al grupo.

Espero que esta carta de frutos y reciva acogida y podamos establecer un centro de comunicacion.
Atentamente,
Ivan Najera
