The multiple Grammy Award nominee (2005) and official Ambassador of Peruvian Culture, Perú Negro returns to Cal Performances with its intoxicating mix of traditional and new music celebrating Peru's rich African heritage. The astonishing group of more than 20 singers, dancers, and musicians recreates the folkloric music of black Peru, which was born when Africans were forced into slavery by 16th-century Spanish colonizers and has since blossomed into a vital living art form. The group's appearance promises captivating roots music by any standard, "unadulterated fun...imbued with theatrical flair and charming comic digressions," says the Boston Globe. . An unforgettable evening with one of Peru's greatest cultural exports!
