"VICKY LEYVA Y SU SABOR NEGRO"

About Me


VICKY LEYVA
Pervuvian singer Vicky Leyva performs traditional Afro-Peruvian rhythms with modern arrangements. Accompanied by her own group which includes guitars, bass, modern and traditional Peruvian percussion, Vicky's show is authentic and innovative. The show may include popular Peruvian dances such as landó, zamacueca, festejo and others.
For most music fans in the US, Peruvian music means Andean panpipes. While the African presence in such music kingpins as Brazil and Cuba are well known, Peru's African legacy has only recently gained major attention here. Furthermore, the legacy of slavery in Peru differed from elsewhere in the Americas in that slaves were brought from a wide variety of regions in Africa making cultural continuity virtually impossible.
Con orgullo Vicky Leyva , nos dice "soy de color serio, como dice el dicho, pero te confieso que si volviera a nacer, quiero nacer negra, siento que ese ritmo y sabor es debido a mi origen."
La cantante peruana que cumple este año sus 25 años de vida artística, cuenta con una amplia experiencia, durante su trayectoria artística se a presentado en diversos escenarios a nivel internacional, y nos da la noticia, de lo que prepara para celebrar sus bodas de plata “sólo te adelanto que quiero ofrecer lo mejor de mi , quiero que la comunidad latina y los norteamericanos conozcan la riqueza cultural de la música de mi país, que tiene sus raíces en África, y se conoce como afroperuana.
Soy del peru, pero vivo en virginia-usa soy una persona muy alegre pero muy centrada ,disfruto a plenitud cada momento de mi vida,me considero una persona feliz ,realizada como madre,emprendedora y muy optimista en la vida,no dejo que nada me derrumbe y creo en DIOS y en su amor que es mi fuerza cada dia. ..

Influences: Ever since i was a little girl i loved to sing. I was timid at first & had obsticles to overcome but with the help of my loving artistic family i got through all that. My whole family is full of talented people. Most of our family members are professional singers, musicians, or professional dancers. I guess its just in my blood.
