“Like every musician of Latin origin, I have a commitment to Cuba and its music. […] In my mind and heart I always had the desire to visit the island. This happened in 2013, when Jorge Reyes invited me to sing. […] I promised the teacher to invite him to Peru […]”declared the winner of the Latin Grammy for Musical Excellence.

Finally, Eva Ayllón added that together with the Cuban performers they will pay tribute to Creole and Afro-Cuban music. “Imagine: waltzes in boleros and celebrations and landaus with Congo and Yoruba feeling, via Santiago, Matanzas and Havana.
