Afro-peruvian Legend

For 30 years singer Eva Ayllon has been selling out theatres at home in Peru. Her new album finally brings this legendary voice to a European audience. She focuses on the elegant and lively genres of the coastal plains of Lima in particular. She is known for singing the lando, the festejo and the vals, all mestizo blends of Peru's indigenous African and Spanish musical heritage. The guitar recalls flamenco idioms one moment and alludes to Andean mountain music the next. The cajon - a wooden percussion box - translates African rhythms to Latin America. Call-and-response, complex syncopation and polyrhythms combine with sweet, melancholic melodies to create a sound unique to Peru's diverse ancestry. "This music is sensuous, funky and irresistibly tuneful" - Afropop Worldwide.
