Eva Ayllon's career has taken her from fruitful collaborations with a variety of bands -- including Riconcito Monsefuano and Los Kipus -- to a Peruvian supergroup, Los Hijos del Sol, to a successful solo career. Ayllon specializes in the criollo music of the Lima plain: <i>lando</i>, <i>festejo</i> and <i>vals</i>. Her recordings have helped elevate the once-maligned criollo music internationally, and her commanding vocal presence brings warmth and force to Peru's rhythmically restless music. - Sarah BardeenLatinen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:46:41 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.43409&rws=%2Feva-ayllon%2Fmusic-videos.rss She's one of Peru's greatest exponents of the Afro-Peruvian musical traditions, a singer who started dancing on television when she was just 12 years old and within a few years found herself a guest singer with a panoply of groups.
