This new album introduces the most favorite Christmas songs from around the world in a Latin American (and particularly Peruvian) musical perspective and features the region's traditional instruments and styles. Afroandina Christmas has no precedent in the recording industry. Its unique sound, based on the styles and instrumentation used, refreshes the spirit of carols songs and allows the listener to enjoy this music beyond the Holiday Season.
Listen to "Silent night", "Little drummer boy", "The little Savana donkey" (El burrito Sabanero) -among others- as you never have before, performed by charming Zampoña and Quena (pan flutes of the Andes), acoustic Spanish guitar, Charango, Andean percussion (tambor wankara, bombo legüero), Afro-Peruvian percussion (cajón, quijada de burro), violin, accordion, bass and keyboards.
These christmas carols showcase Andean styles such as Wayno, Sikuri (music for dialoguing panpipes) and the Saya, an Afro-influenced dance; from the coast of Peru we are introduced to Festejo, Zamacueca, Panalivio and the Creole Waltz. Other styles represented on the CD find their origins in South American Folklore such as the Argentinean Zamba and Chacarera, Joropo from Venezuela and some Tropical rhythms. These traditional styles are further enhanced by New Age and Pop music influences and at times contrast with Baroque and Renaissance musical interpretations. The fusion of such diverse elements is accomplished through the vision and talent of two renowned Peruvian musicans: José Luis Madueño and Ricardo Silva.

The joint of these elements has flourished because of the vision of two peruvian musicians and producers: José Luis Madueño and Ricardo Silva.

José Luis Madueño, pianist and composer, was twice runner-up (2000 and 2002) for best composer at the "Festival de Jazz de La Habana" in Cuba. This prize, the "Ibero-American Prize of Latin Jazz", is presented by Sociedad General de Autores y Editores (SGAE), the Spanish equivalent of BMI and ASCAP in the United States. José Luis has accomplished the best fusion of Afro-Peruvian music and Jazz on his album Chilcano and he has taken the music of the Andes towards new forms of expression on his albums Wayruro and Flight of the Condor. A sensitive and versatile acoustic and electric pianist, and an avid student of world music and its roots, he is able to mix diverse styles with surprising results. José Luis is a source of inspiration for present and future generations of musicians in Lima, Peru where he spends part of his time teaching music.
Ricardo Silva, on the other hand, is a folklorist with Afro and Andean roots. Proudly "Mestizo" (of mixed race), he has dedicated his career to Andean Music, both indigenous and contemporary, and has performed and recorded with various highly regarded artists and producers form around the world. He is the founder of the group "Del Pueblo y Del Barrio" ("From the People and the Neighborhod) a group renowned in their home country for pioneering what is now commonly referred to as Latin Rock. When not in the studio or performing, Ricardo may be found teaching the dance of Musica Negra (Afro-Peruvian) and traditional instruments to young inca artists.
The musicians collaborating on this recording with Madueño and Silva are among the finest in Peru. For Christmas 2003, Afroandina Chrstmas was released in Peru with a video clip for T.V. featuring the ever-popular "Feliz Navidad". The video has been filmed in Matute, Cerro San Cristobal and the Pantanos de Villa (Peru) and it includes the participation of Peru's best-known folcloric dance group "Así es mi Perú".
