Bassist and composer Edward Pérez joins forces with the powerful voice of French-Carribean born singer Christelle Durandy to present a night of Peruvian songs. The group presents a repertoire ranging from invigorating festejos to sultry landos, freely combining traditional Afro-Peruvian elements with jazz, funk, and other latin styles, creating a vision of costal Peruvian music that could only come from New York.
Edward Pérez has performed with many of the greats in the Afro-Peruvian genre (Eva Ayllón, Chocolate Algendones, Juan Medrano Cotito, Sergio Valdeos, Chevo Ballumbrosio, Gigio Parodi, etc). Also known for his work as a jazz bassist, he has toured throughout the world, performing in many of the worlds foremost venues and recorded on a CD nominated for Grammy in the category of best Latin-jazz album.
Vocalist Cristelle Durandy is equally at-home in styles ranging from Salsa to Jazz, Funk and Soul. Since arriving in New York, she has become a mainstay on the latin scene. She sings with a sweetness that will make an entire room silent on the edge of their seats or with an infectious energy that will make an entire crowd dance.

Players can take their time to think about their moves without feeling pressured by timers or opponents. This relaxed pace makes the game an excellent way to unwind after a busy day or during short breaks.
