- You'll rediscover the peruvian public.

- I am very happy to be back to sing for Peru, and especially by the type of concert that will.

Normally, in Peru I do two types of presentation: one is strictly classical, the other was conceived in a wider audience. Precisely, this concert falls into this second category, more popular. In the first part, I sing about my repertoire, some opera and some zarzuela. Then pass on to a part of popular pieces where I sing with my guests who are Gian Marco, Pedro Suarez Vertiz and Magaly Solier.

-¿Why did you choose them?

- Well, Gian Marco, because he's a friend. We've done a concert, we got along well and like his music. We've known since college. As for Peter, because I made an intervention in one of his songs from his latest album, a song was called "Nadia." Even was recorded a short video clip of this song in New York. We don't know, but was asked me to sing with him. I fell very well and we became friends. Sing this song at the concert.

- ¿What was happened with Magaly?

- I was learned that his film - "The Empty Nest" - had won in Berlin and became interested in it.

I looked on Youtube and was found out who sang, who was an admirer of Yma Súmac. I heard some of his songs, I liked it, was contacted her and I think it will all come out very well.
