After emerging in the 70s, Eva Ayllón immediately set a landmark by establishing herself as the leading exponent of Afro Peruvian music. Ayllón focuses on the elegant and lively genres of the coastal plains of Peru. She is known for singing the landó, the festejo, and the vals, all mestizo blends of Peru’s indigenous, African, and Spanish musical heritage. Eva’s recording career spans 30 albums, five Latin Grammy nominations, and multiple performance sell outs including the legendary Carnegie Hall.
