Nuestro juramento is the most popular song in the history of Ecuador, especially in Guayaquil, where Julio Jaramillo was from. However, most Ecuadorians are unaware that it was written by someone outside their country.

Benito de Jesús said to be living off the royalties of "Nuestro juramento". Every 6 months he received royalties from different countries.[2]
