Novalima live in concert
Novalima is an Afro-Peruvian production created in 2001 by four Peruvian musicians based in Barcelona, Hong Kong, London and Lima. On a mission to bring Afro-Peruvian music up-to-date, they have managed to capture the real soul of Afro-Peru in the same way as Gotan Project did with Tango. The result is magnificent. Its raw and acoustic but at the same time electronic. Dark but soulful, deep and haunting at times. Killer dub bass lines with thumping cajon, quijada and conga percussions, layered with 100 year old slavery chants, emotive vocals, and sweet guitars.
Where: La Noche de Barranco, Calle Bolognesi 307, Barranco-Lima

Tickets: S/. 30.00
