We went back downstairs and encountered an unexpected and quite interesting exhibit which featured a musical group from Cotacachi called Orquesta Rumba-Habana founded in 1949. Their colorful music stands were on display in front of a large photo showing them in formal attire posing by Lake Cuicocha. They recorded their first 45 rpm record in 1979, with LP's following from 1981 onward. There were many photos of them along with awards they have won, from silver trophies to silver records.
