Almost all of these CLARK were born loving music, it must be that they had it in their veins, there was not a December, Christmas or New Year's Eve that they met at the house of the 9th, the old house of the CLARK Grandparents, and they used to listen to music, music Good, Ecuadorian, another was part of that CUBA that had left, of Gente de Venezuela, Puerto Rico, the ALLS STAR, the Gran Combo, Pérez Prado, etc. All that music was played by my uncle JULIO CLARK in life, Well, apart from mastering the sport, my uncle was a passionate music collector. It would be, my grandmother said, the domain of the performing arts, and of music was the legacy of Don ELEODORO CLARK, his father, who in his past life before the GOSPEL, was a great guitarist and singer. wood so that many of your grandchildren and great-grandchildren would like MUSIC.
My uncles used to meet at the CASA DE LOS CLARK, at that time my uncle FELIPE CLARK, had left VENEZUELA the country where he lived for many years, there in that country, back or before he had sent a record that was undoubtedly very little known, Today everyone plays it, but at the time my uncle arrived from the plains country, nobody had it, it was an event, an Ecuadorian recording in that country in the north of SUDAMERICA, much more having JJ lived in that place and having recorded any number of albums, REMINISCENCIA was one more. For those who have followed the career of this Guayaquil interpreter, they do not realize that at that time JJ was in the best of his time, he could be classified as a RECORD MAN in terms of soloists, because in his years he had recorded any number of RECORDS, many of them with great notoriety and much admired by Latin Americans, many nations of this continent disputed the nationality of JULIO JARAMILLO, some said that he was Mexican, Argentine, Uruguayan, Venezuelan, etc. At that time I don't know if you will be able to notice it, but JJ had the Argentine-Uruguayan touch, which gave him a touch as JENY ESTRADA says, with a unique tessitura and registers. One of the best singers of popular music, of Latin American folklore, who left traces in his recordings, the same ones that cannot be equaled by modern artists. JULIO JARAMILLO was not born from the impregnation of current marketing and propaganda, he was born with a talent from the cradle, which led him to be where he was. Without knowing the origin of the criollo thrush, my uncles met to listen to music, one of the albums that became very heard by them, was REMINISCENCIAS, one of the best productions, I would say of JJ, to see the Ecuadorian JJ in that Cover with the Cigar, it was a shock, the background color was orange, it was the characteristic, Two songs to the MOTHER at least, that made the body stand up to whoever heard it. Over time in the investigation of being able to find data from JAMAICA IN EL ECUADOR (my book), we find the interesting fact that this JULIO JARAMILLO is proud of the national pentagram, one of the best exponents of ECUADORIAN MUSIC, one of the Ecuadorians best known outside the homeland borders, he was part of the trident of Ecuadorians with Jamaican roots, SANDIFORD, SPENCER AND JULIO JARAMILLO, what a barbarity, what else could one ask of HEAVEN, the pride of sports, plus music, with Caribbean blood . Vestiges of one of the smallest migrations that Ecuador had of black English workers who left JAMAICA between the years 1900-1910. Just hearing him sing one of the songs that JULIO JARAMILLO sings in this LP, LOS VOS A MI MADRE: "The verses to my mother are inspired by GOD", "She is the owner of my dreams although I am not a poet ..." In Reminiscences he says: "To love is impossible, to erase from my memory, the memory of your strange look haunts me ...". 42 years lived to the fullest, having made music one of the greatest weapons that the human being can have to be able to express what the human being has. Born in Guayaquil, on October 1, 1935 and died on February 9, 1978, he left an indelible mark, difficult to forget. He wrote the History of music from his point of view and added his style and way of being. A typical Ecuadorian, who evokes the way in which the COSTA rose, to be able to join the SIERRA, and in his veins, those thick and large hands run, of that intrinsic value, that way of seeing spontaneity and that strength to overcome adversity, winning over life. Who believed, that the train was going to have a link in the veins on the side of his blood. Whoever believed that the love of the Andes would melt in his veins, together with the love of the tropics and the Caribbean settled in ECUADOR. Ab. Eleodoro Portocarrero Clark, for JAMAICA IN ECUADOR 2021
