Ekelekua, is a 6 track EP. The first track is Vamo´ a Gozar, it is possibly Jigüe's best-known song among his fans, and it is also a mandatory track to get to know and understand the Afrofuturismo Tropical. Follow him, Ekelekua, Rumba Completa, Evolución and Gulabanza. The interlocking of different rhythms born from Afro-Cuban percussion (Vamo´a Gozar, Rumba Completa); the use of universal and typical drums such as the yembe (Evolution, Ekelekua), the daburca (Ekelekua), the biscuit and the fifth (Gulabanza); They were the starting point for the creation of new polyrhythmias. Within the experimentation, Jigüe surprises in the subject (Ekelekua), for the special way of conceiving the touch of the Congas; this time, this instrument becomes a percussive melodic; a sonorous joy that was masterfully assumed by Iran Farías El Menor who, in turn, performed all the percussions on the EP.

Ekelekua is the reaffirmation of a musical language that comes from another dimension and that is interwoven with ancestral sounds, the neighborhood and the root culture. It is a journey of reconnection, growth and reaffirmation of Afrofuturismotropical.
