ABOUT
Mirtha Guerrero, stage name "La Machete," is an author-composer-performer part of the new generation creating contemporary Afro-Latin music now in Lima, Peru.
Halfway 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, and bringing traditional rhythms to an urban national and international audience. She co-produced her last CD in collaboration with the Alliance Française of Lima, and she is now coming up with this new production: a 6-track EP with a 100% contemporary Peruvian flavor! -- To be released in 2016.
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.
