Recordist's notes

One of the characteristics of La Mesa (Cundinamarca) is that it is a place with many green areas that allow to host an infinity of insects and small animals that allow us to live sound experiences at night that make us feel as if we were in the middle of the Colombian fields. At night, the murmur generated by the song and the nocturnal activities of the insects allow a pleasant background of fundamental sounds to be had in the background. Adding to this, we find the sound of crickets contributing their share in the sound signals of the place. And to close with great originality, the singing of the frogs, accompanied by moments of the crowing of the rooster at dawn, comes, this to form a good sound mark.
