One of the top Latin American bands around, APU come from the Inca capital
of Cusco, in the ‘Sacred Valley’ of the Andes in Peru. They have developed
a powerful and exciting mix of traditional and modern compositions,
combining breathtaking pipe and flute skills with searing Latin American
samba/salsa/cumbia rhythms
The three Puente de la Vega brothers formed APU in 1983, touring Peru, Bolivia and Argentina,
before relocating to the UK in 1988, following a tour with Incantation. They have been joined by virtuoso
contemporaries from Cusco’s College of Music who have all played their traditional ‘Music of
the Sacred Valley’ since childhood.
Performances include: The Royal Festival Hall, National and Barbican theatres, London, Queens Hall,
Edinburgh, Spor Stadium, Istanbul, Stadium of Light, Sunderland. The Festival of the Sun God (Inti
Raymi), Machupiccu, Glastonbury and WOW festivals.
“This music combines Latin American samba/salsa rhythms delivered in their own inimitable fashion with a warm
and humorous style producing an inspiring and hauntingly beautiful experience…”
“Dirty Dancing with pan-pipes.”
