LA MACHETE

Mirtha Guerrero, stage name "La Machete", is part of the new generation of authors / composers / interpreters of contemporary Afro-Latin music now in Lima (Peru). Half way between Susana Baca and Novalima, La Machete offers a lively and modern glance at Afro-Peruvian rhythms, interpreting the little-known music of the Pacific coast of Peru, where she grew up. She has lived in France for several years and has just released her latest album "De verdes... y maduras" in collaboration with the Alliance Francaise of Lima (Peru). Polyrhythm and the fusion of melodies where one can hear pop, jazz and the voices, history and music of the sister countries of Latin America - the clarity of her lyrics combine with imagination and an uncompromising derision that uplifts us with joy and passion.
