Wonderful intro to Peruvian percussion! - Excellent experience! Paloma translated perfect instruction from Jesus and included the origins of both the instruments and the African slaves that developed them after their native drums were burned by the S panish in an effort to destroy their culture and replace it with Catholism. Jesus was very patient and detailed as he instructed me on the principal instruments. Great time with wonderful people in a space that is developing into a community resource for emerging artists.

OMG My kids had SOOOO much fun - I just did this event on 15 of feb 2020. It was amazing!. I am traveling with 8 children ages 11-15. 7 out of the 8 kids loooved it. The 8th was exhausted and not musically oriented but he was still happy to film his friends. The kids covered so much material in such a short time and were really able to enjoy themselves. A large range of instruments were allowed to be tried. Paloma was positive and reinforcing but knew how to maintain control of the class (kids were easy to get excited and on a tangent). Fiorella, the business partner- was great to deal with. She agreed to come to my airbnb and came at a time that was reasonable for my children. . I have traveled to Peru over 6 times in the past 10 years and this is the top thing in LIma I've had my kids do. . I will be booking it again for our next trip!
