Rich Spirit: LISTEN RECOVERY

About Me

Born '78 in Lima, Peru... Inspired by the corner musicians in the city and the endless block parties playing Latin Roots from the 70s, 80s and Afro Peruvian Rhythms / folklore (Cucharas, Quijadas, Cajones, Guitarras y poesia). I grew up around the old folks...I first began to understand music when I heard the Decimistas in the old streets of Lima expressing their feelings going through the constant changing world.In God I think first... Travel & Dig... Music & Art... Write as I go...Cultura.
