The members of La Tuna Quiteña share the Hispanic love for music, art, and festivities. The members of this group shared the classroom at the same high school. Their friends named the group "Los Bocheritos" because they interpreted songs performed by "Los Bocheros," a very famous group from Bilbao-Spain who visited Ecuador in the early 1900's. The genuine joy and artistic emotion that characterizes every performance becomes immediately contagious. The vocals are accompanied by accordion, guitars and pandereta.

The members of the group have very diverse professional activities:
o Fernando Riofrío Pólit, the groups' director, studied economy and banking technologies and has worked at positions in the Ecuadorian financial system.
o Miguel Riofrío Polit, Agricultural Engineer, has specialized studies in Agricultural Planning in Israel. Currently, he is head manager for a company that exports flowers from Ecuador.
o Manuel Romoreloux Riofrío, doctor in law, obtained a Master's degree at Harvard University.
o Mauricio Riofrío Correa, graduate from the Metropolitan Design Institute, also studied at Jefi, Italy.
o Manuel Reyes Egas, banking executive, specialized in managing government bonds and stocks at the Banco de México.

The group interprets Spanish songs, especially pasodobles, a march type of music adapted to Spanish dance. The Ecuadorian repertoire features pasacalles, which are equivalent to the Spanish pasodoble. These songs are the very characteristic music of the highland cities in Ecuador. La Tuna Quiteña's repertoire also includes bulerías, a popular rhythm from Andalucía.

Los Bocheritos are scheduled to make numerous presentations to students, faculty and staff at Ohio State.
