From one of Earth's highest-located capital cities, Quito, Ecuador, nearly 10,000 feet above sea level, comes axe-master & 6-string wizard Hittar Cuesta, with an extremely
virtuosic, technical display of guitar fireworks & a strongly melodic brand
of progressive-metal.
Hittar Cuesta, born Hitler Cuesta, moved to Cuenca, ‘the Athens of Ecuador’, at the age
of 19, to teach guitar-playing. Since that move, the guitar-slinging master
started a most successful music career. He first played with rock-pop group
Crucks en Karnak. While with them he had to keep his love for
true virtuosic metal on the side. With Crucks he achieved commercial
success, but artistically he still had to restrain himself due to the
limitations of the genre.
He changed his name to Hittar (like guitar), leaving his
ill-chosen birth name in the past, & quit Crucks, which by the time was Ecuador's
biggest commercial act. He joined the metal band Falk, but that only lasted a
short time. He decided to pursue a solo career, where he would be free to
explore the different, intriguing corners of his musical mind.
Although Cuesta was already recognized as one of Ecuador's
greatest guitar players before going solo, after the release of his first
full-length, El Lenguaje de los Espiritus (The Language of the Spirits) in
2000, Hittar Cuesta was critically acclaimed as Ecuador's superior master of
the guitar. It is his only solo release so far, as he has since gone back to
teaching guitar full time.

Anónimos is a punk band that was formed in late 1999 by three
friends, Speed Rocker Anónimo – guitar, Fonsy Anónimo – vocals & bass,
& William Anónimo – drums. William soon left & was replaced by Joey Anónimo.
The band's style is influenced by 50s rock ala Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, & Richie
Valens as well as classic punk of the Ramones, Sex Pistols, Misfits, & the
Clash.
In late 2000 they recorded their first demo Volver al Rock n
Roll with Joey on drums. Johnny Anónimo, who played with Enemigo Público, was
added as bassist in 2003, making the band now a four-piece with Fonsy
concentrating solely on vocals. They recorded their first album, the 15 song Días
de Diversión. Shortly after its release, Joey & Johnny left the band &
Eric joins as drummer. Once again Fonsy plays bass & sings. The band is again a trio as in their earlier days. In 2007 they recorded Soy un Cadaver.
