Eva Ayllón
Eva Ayllón is a living legend of Latin music and a cultural ambassador of Peru. She is coming to London to perform a special concert on Friday 31st July at the Electric Brixton.

Ayllón’s recording career spans over 30 albums, multiple gold and platinum records, 10 Latin GRAMMY nominations and a Lifetime Achievement Latin GRAMMY Award for her trajectory. As if this were not enough, she has shared the stage with other icons of world music such as Gilberto Santa Rosa, Soledad Pastorutti, Marc Anthony, Armando Manzanero, Raphael, Diego el Cigala, José Luis Rodríguez, Kalimba, Mercedes Sosa, Inti-Illimani Histórico, Illapu, David Bisbal, Los Kjarkas, Pedro Aznar, among others.
