To many musicologists there are few sounds more iconic than the Afro-Peruvian music -- which following emancipation found its home around the Chincha area of Peru and other coastal valleys both to the north and south of and also in Lima -- and the Danzantes de Tijeras from the areas of Ayacucho and Andahuaylas in the south-central highlands. To combine the two in one night's entertainment was a masterstroke and amazingly good value at £10 including a plate of Aguajal's great Peruvian food and a bottle of Cuzqueña beer, if you wished.
