“We’re an ongoing musical conversation, drawing on the sounds and songs of the mountains and coasts, in dialogue with distant and more contemporary roots, to share the stories of our nation and the collective Latin American spirit.”

Lundú is a 7-member chamber group that was formed in 2015 by a love of Perú’s song traditions. The group is comprised of Marikatia Campos (vocals), Robert Sanchez (flute), Diego Cardenas (guitar), Fernando Salazar (guitar), Diego Manrique (percussion), Kanko Cardena (cajon), Sebastian Vega (bass). Together, they compose new music and rearrange traditional Peruvian songs without losing the essence of a Peruvian sound. Lundú’s originals and arrangements of folk standards respond to their environment, complex Afro-Peruvian and Andean roots, and their historic hometown, Arequipa.

Lundú is part of Center Stage, a public diplomacy initiative of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs with funding provided by the U.S. Government, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts in cooperation with the U.S. Regional Arts Organizations.
