FULL BIOGRAPHY:

Eva Ayllón was born María Angélica Ayllón Urbina on February 7, 1956, adopting the name “Eva” after her maternal grandmother who initiated her in vocalization at the age of three. Within a few years, she was singing at school, youth competitions and later, on television and radio. In the early 70s she began to appear in many of the local “peñas criollas”, a gathering of musician friends, and began to define herself as one of the leading interpreters of Peru’s Música Criolla. From 1973 through 1975, she sang as the lead voice in the popular trio "Los Kipus", eventually leaving the group to pursue a solo career. By 1979, she began touring internationally, with appearances in Europe, the United States, Canada, and Japan and since then her music and live performances are requested on a yearly basis at international music events. In addition to Música Criolla, Eva emerged as the leading exponent of Afro-Peruvian landós and festejos. The most important interpreter of Peruvian music, deservedly known as the Queen of Landó, is today at her musical peak.
Eva released her first US album, “Eva! Leyenda Peruana”, on Times Square Records in 2004. Since then, her musical presence continues to expand boundaries. In her commitment to broaden the awareness of afro-Peruvian culture, Eva changed her residence from Lima, Peru to New Jersey in 2005. And since then, she and her group have been touring across Europe, North America and Latin America extensively. "Leyenda Peruana" was extremely well received everywhere, and in Germany it received the Critic’s choice award for best traditional recording. Eva already began the recording of her next album. This production will reveal a new approach to her style, with new compositions and new arrangements of the fan-loved traditions, as well as, featuring her versatility in the mastering of other genres.
“Being able to sing is the most wonderful gift that God bestowed on me and singing for my country, Peru, gives me a sense of great pride.”
