Julio Jaramillo was an Ecuadorian singer famous in the 50s, 60s, and 70s for his warm voice and soulful renditions of songs from various Ecuadorian musical traditions (pasillo, bolero, etc.). He is now deceased, but his fame in Ecuador has reached Frank Sinatra-like proportions.
Below, he sings a love song to his native city of Guayaquil.
Happy Independence Day / Loor a Guayaquil!
my "guayaquil de mis amores" sticker makes so much more sense now :)
