More About the Artists...
The Afro-Peruvian Sextet has produced nine CDS, one documentary film and two vinyl records to date. Their audiences come from all over the globe.
During your magical evening, you may even be invited to participate in Tour Perú - Behind the Scenes, an innovative concept by which fans of the band literally join the musicians on the road on tour in Peru!
With home bases in Lima and New York City, the band has been embraced by both cities. Hot House Magazine awarded the band New York City’s “Best Ensemble of the Year” award and the New York City Jazz Record “Best Latin Jazz Album.”
The band has successfully developed and consolidated a thriving “scene” around Afro-Peruvian jazz music. The Latin Jazz Network described the band in this way:
“Every once in a while there comes a musician who, when playing his or her chosen instrument, seems to carry within a vital life-force that is irrepressible.”
The "From Lima with Love" tour is very special...
All we need now is YOU...
See you on Tuesday October 20th!
Afro-Peruvian Jazz Music is Family Friendly Too...
