Martin Morales鈥檚 Peruvian Roadtrip
Peruvian-born chef and record producer Martin Morales explores the link between food and music in the Andes.
Peruvian-born chef and record producer Martin Morales heads back to his homeland to explore the inherent link between food and music in Andean culture.
Martin starts his journey at the famous La Chomba restaurant in Cusco, where musicians queue to serenade the diners, and then heads to the tiny village of Lamay where the local delicacy is guinea pig on a stick.
He then visits the Centre for Native Arts in Cusco where food and music come together with a dance about the Oca potato. Providing the soundtrack to the dance is the legendary violinist Reynaldo Pillco.
Martin also meets singer Sylvia Falcon who enchants with a song that highlights the importance of the Coca leaf in Peruvian cuisine and culture. And, he talks to Peruvian music legend Manuelcha Prado aka the 鈥淪aqra鈥 of the guitar 鈥 or the devil of the guitar. Plus, talented travelling musician Carlos 鈥 whose lack of teeth does not affect his ability to connect the with his appreciative audience.
