about

Recorded and released in 1973 in Ecuador, El Organo Electronico de Bilo Alban is the sole known release by this pre-pubescent keyboard prodigy (we think he's eight years old, but that's subject to correction). At this tender age, Bilo has mastered the nuances of the electronic keyboard, offering a range of traditional, folk, and pop standards, along with some 1960s rock hits, such as Creedence Clearwater's "Born on the Bayou" and Three Dog Night's "I Can Hear You Calling."

A decade or so after this LP, Bilo turns up playing keys in Spectrum, a heavy metal/hard rock band from Guayaquil. We have no other information about him at this time.
