The festival gave way to local bands such as Aedos, Herber de Santis,
Four Pack, Santiamen, Ktorce, who went up on stage with a message in hand, the musicians of the sector were the most critical in asking the authorities of the Refinery to take measures to stop staining their beaches with the already continuous spills (3 occurred in just over a month, in fact one day after the festival there was a new spill in the Cautivo sector, very close to Chulluype).

The Sunday evening ended with Segovita, who surprised everyone by coming on stage without being invited. "I also have a lot to say," said the musician.
During the two days of the event, extreme care was taken with the garbage on the beach, there were recycling stations (donated by the Pika Recycle plan for permanent use in the community that welcomed us for two days), the public was informed with Ecotips between bands. There was a special area for invited artists who shared painting with the children. Likewise, the collection of almost 700 signatures of support began with the sole purpose of asking the President of Ecuador to force precautionary measures to stop the contamination of the sea with hydrocarbons. This collection of signatures will continue throughout this month in the affected towns.
Chulluype Festival, for a sea without oil stains was organized with the coordination of the Online Magazine Ballenita Si and Suákate Communication Agency, who together with the entire group of volunteers who joined and supported the event and through social media, before, during and after. ALL the participating artists did so voluntarily, uniting a voice that we hope will be heard in the near future... especially with the precedent that is occurring with the Texaco case in our country.
