Peru Negro
Sangre de un Don
Silva Screen Records America

Peru Negro exhibits the outstanding cultural pride of black Peruvians in its presentation of exquisite, exciting dance music. Full percussion, energetic vocals, and virtuosic guitars support the dances of this more than thirty year old ensemble, which is now comprised of members of all ages. Though somewhat similar to Caribbean music, the instrumentation and the stratification thereof is unique; there are instruments made from boxes and others from donkey jaws, while guitars feature rather prominently. The multilingual liner notes are infomative and filled with stories and pictures chronicallying the cultural significance and development of black Peruvian music throughout slave times and into the present. In Peru Negro endures beauty and strength to carry and transform culture well into the future.
