Peru Negro
Peru Negro is an Afro-Peruvian musical ensemble founded in 1969 to celebrate and preserve Peru's black culture and musica criolla. Ronaldo Campos de la Colina founded the Lima-based group with 12 family members. The group has been appointed by the government of Peru as the "Cultural Ambassadors of Black Peru." When Ronaldo Campos died in 2001, his son Rony Campos took over the direction of the troupe. Today, the group has over 30 members and a youth troupe, Peru Negrito.
