I bought this LP in 1985 at a music store in Lima, not knowing who these musicians were. It was enough that they were from Puquio, harp with violin. I fell in love with all 6 of their tunes, and for some 30 years I have always wanted to play their music with them. From left to right the musicians are the brothers singer Pedro, violinist Víctor, and harpist Panfilo Huamán. Their father stands to the right.



Thanks to youtube, I found these musicians. Pedro Huamán, also known as Águila de Puquio, is still singing, and I found his music videos on youtube. And his brothers are still playing. Only now, Víctor plays the harp instead of the violin. What a thrill to finally meet them in person. They live in Lurín. Here I am posing with Pedro and Víctor at his harp.




Trying out one of their tunes, Ay Amorcito. What a privilege and honor! 




Dream come true next to Panfilo at the harp.




Now with Víctor at the harp.


Víctor, up close.
