Afro Peruvian Party!

This program will be in person at George Bruce Library. 

Join Araceli for a music party celebrating important women of PERU! We will listen to inspiring stories, from women such as Yma Sumac, one of the best-selling Latin American recording artists in history and the best-selling Peruvian in history, and Victoria Santa Cruz, considered “the mother of Afro Peruvian dance and theatre”, and then sing and dance to their music. Grammy-nominated Araceli will bring her charango, traditional puppets, and many rhythms to try together. The session will celebrate powerful women who inspire girls around the world.
