The '''music of Ecuador ''' has a long history. Pasillo is a genre of indigenous Latin music. It is extremely popular in Ecuador, where it is the "national genre of music." Pasillo as a genre is also present in the mountainous regions of Colombia, Panama and Venezuela, to a lesser extent. |
|||
Today, it has incorporated more European features of classical dance, such as a waltz. As it spread during the Gran Chaco period, pasillo also absorbed the individual characteristics of isolated villages. This gives it an eclectic feel; however, the style, tone, and tempo of the music differ in each village. |

In its waltz, pasillo alters the classically European dance form to accompany guitar, mandolin, and other string instruments. |

The [[pacific]] coast of Ecuador is known for the [[Amor Fino]], a popular type of song, as well as a variety of dance music. |
