Perú Negro is an Afro-Peruvian musical ensemble established in 1969 to celebrate and preserve Peru's black culture and Música Criolla. Founded by a member of a family with 12 relatives, the group has continued to thrive, especially after the untimely death of its founder in 2001, when his son took over the tradition. In 2002, Perú Negro embarked on its first-ever tour in the United States, leading to two Grammy Award nominations in 2005 and another in 2008. The ensemble collaborated with a renowned Peruvian female artist in 2010, which resulted in a Latin Grammy nomination that same year.
