Phantasma – also seen as Grupo Phantasma – were from Ecuador.
Other than the fact that they released two albums and five singles, the only other thing I can tell you is… They dressed up like ghosts.
Spooky, huh?
Catalog number 800297 on RCA Victor. Released 1976.

Polibio Mayorga is an accordionist, organist, poet and composer born in 1944 in the city of Ambato, Ecuador. A pioneer of the Moog synthesizer in Tropical music – most of which was credited under the pseudonym – Junior Y Su Equipo. He was also the former director and producer at the label Fadisa.
I’ve been wanting to post a record by Junior Y Su Equipo for a while, but as far as I know just about all of the music that Polibio Mayorga released under that moniker has been reissued. A handful of his best tunes were also included on Analog Africa’s “Saturno 2000 – La Rebajada de Los Sonideros 1962 – 1983”.
Surprisingly, there is no Wikipedia page for Polibio Mayorga, but he does have facebook and Instagram and is apparently still active as of this posting.
Catalog number 700030 on Melpro of Quito, Ecuador. Released 1979.
