New York City (New York), USA - Since her last release on Times Square Records -- Eva! Leyenda Peruana (TSQ-CD-9040) Eva Ayllon’s musical presence continues to expand boundaries. In her commitment to broaden the awareness of afro-Peruvian culture, Eva changed her residence from Lima, Peru to New Jersey earlier this year. And since then, Eva and her group have been touring across Europe, North America and Latin America extensively.

Eva! Leyenda Peruana was extremely well received everywhere, and in Germany it received the Critic’s choice award for best traditional recording. The group is about to embark on another US and European tour to introduce new cities and new countries to Eva Ayllon's music. In December, Eva will return to Lima to perform her first concert since her departure and to begin recording her next album. The production will reveal a new approach to her style, with new compositions and new arrangements of the fan-loved traditions, as well as, featuring her versatility in the mastering of other genres. Eva will release a new album and a live concert DVD in 2006.
