Rufino Ortiz, Freddy “Huevito” Lobaton & Yuri Juarez

Hope they play “Toro Mata.”

Gabriel Alegría Afro-Peruvian Sextet

Alegria founded the band in 2005. All the players are not just great musicians, they are teaching artists as well.

If you get to know this band, you will probably end up hanging out with them, because that’s how we are. When we celebrate, it’s as families and extended families. There  is always food and drink and drumming, singing and dancing.

The band also leads annual tours to Peru. That would be a great way to see the country.

When you think of Peru, you think of Incas in the Andes, but there were slave plantations along the southern coastal region. This is where we  get the Afro-Peruvian mix.

Like everywhere, Afro-Peruvians suffer from racism and discrimination. Since the U.S. civil rights movement of the 1960s, there has been a resurgence of pride in our African heritage.

The Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet joins Grupo Cumananá, and Latin Grammy winner Susana Baca in this renaissance of Afro-Peruvian culture.
