Mochi Parra & Carlos HayrePerú à deux
Today on Soundcheck, we present a pair of Peruvians: Legendary guitarist Carlos Hayre will stop by to share his native criollo music, a blend of African and Spanish dance rhythms. He'll be accompanied by Chilean singer Mochi Parra, and together they will be performing an upcoming concert at Symphony Space under the aegis of the Center for Traditional Music and Dance. And WNYC's George Preston previews an upcoming recital by the Peruvian tenor, Juan Diego Florez, which is part of Lincoln Center's "Art of the Song" series, a showcase of noteworthy singers that also includes mezzo-soprano Angelika Kirchschlager and French baritone Stéphane Degout.
