Lucho Quequezana
Peruvian musician, composer and percussionist
Luis Rafael Quequezana Jaimes (born 25 September 1974), known professionally as Lucho Quequezana, is a Peruvian musician, multi-instrumentalist, composer, record producer and television presenter. He is known for his work in traditional Peruvian music and for his involvement in composing the soundtrack for the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima.
Early life and education
Quequezana was born in Lima to a teacher mother from Huánuco and an engineer father from Cusco. At age 11, he moved with his family to Huancayo because of his older brother's illness, and it was there that he first came into contact with music. He taught himself to play music from the age of 11 and wrote his first composition at 13. He later studied communications at the University of Lima. He later settled in Barranco District, Lima.
Career
From the start of his career, Quequezana has focused on traditional Andean music, performing on more than 25 string, percussion and wind instruments. His fusion-oriented approach to Peruvian music and his multi-instrumental performances led him to present his work internationally, especially in Europe, the United States, Canada and Asia; he has also performed for Emperor Akihito and the Japanese imperial family.
His project Sonidos Vivos, which sought to teach Peruvian music to musicians from different parts of the world, won a UNESCO competition.
