Peru Andino New York has been performing in the New York area since 1990. Lead by founders Peter Apaza and Rosa Volida, the group performs traditional music and dance while costumed in handmade Peruvian attire. Today the group includes up to 30 people, ages 14 to 45 years of age. Their extensive repertoire of dances includes marinera Puneña, diablada, morenada, tuntuna, tobas, cullada, saya, llamarada, negrillos, turkuy, and carnival de Arequipa. Peter Apaza was born in the city of Puno, in the southern region of Puno, Peru. He brought his traditional music with him to the U.S. and later founded Peru Andino with his sister, Rosa Volida. Peru Andino has an extensive repertoire of 30 dances and an extensive collection of traditional costume dresses. This is a free event and no tickets are needed. Covid Policy: Your Safety is Priority. The theater is open at full capacity to everyone who has been vaccinated against Covid. Proof of current vaccination status will be required at entry, either with a vaccination card or the NYS Excelsior Pass or similar electronic system. Per CDC guidelines, masks are strongly recommended, even for vaccinated persons. There is not a non-vaccinated seating section, nor is the theater equipped to accept recent negative Covid tests. Should this guidance change by show day, the policy will be adjusted accordingly. World Music Sundays is made possible by a partnership with Long Island Traditions and a Rapid Relief grant from New York State Council on the Arts.
