Organized by the Embassy of Peru, the Gabriela Mistral amphitheater of Casa América will be the stage for the PeruJazz Concert next Friday, July 3 at 8 PM. Free entry until full capacity.
Before embarking on their performances in Spain, PeruJazz will present at Casa de América the album PERUJAZZ live — 2023 European tour, as well as showcase their documentary short film. The program combines a 50-minute live showcase and the premiere of the documentary by Diego Cendra.
Founded in Lima in 1984, PeruJazz is one of the pioneering groups of the fusion between contemporary jazz and the musical roots of the coast, the highlands, and the jungle of Peru. Their proposal integrates Afro-Peruvian percussion and musical languages of Peru with contemporary jazz and improvisation, building an ancestral and contemporary sound at the same time.
The current lineup consists of Manongo Mujica (drums and percussion), Jean Pierre Magnet (saxophones), Andrés Prado (guitar), Julio Zavala (bass), and César Ballumbrosio (percussion, violin, and Afro-Peruvian tap dance).
PeruJazz will complete its presence in Spain with two concerts: on July 11 at Café Berlín in Madrid and on July 13 at La Nau in Barcelona.
