Once home to the mighty Inca Empire, Port of EL CALLAO is the main Port of Peru, forged in 1597 by the Spanish conquerors in their quest for silver and gold. In modern days, El Callao is known as the place of old and new traditions intermingle. The old Peru of pottery, woven wares, mountain ranges and ancient temples still exist, while in modern day Peru, Salsa and Afro Caribbean music have become the national treasure.

Peruvian Fest Chim Pum Callao LA celebrates the rich diversity of Peruvian Culture.

Joining Cuba, Columbia and the US, Peru has become home to some of the most influential Salsa Orchestras in all of the Americas. At least three of them will be performing at Peruvian Fest Chim Pum Callao.

The Fest will not only share the different styles and sounds of Peruvian music but dance with international and regional dance troupes. The musical lineup includes threetime Grammy® winning Salsa and Latin Jazz band, Spanish Harlem Orchestra.

Now celebrating 20 years of excellence, SHO, as they are known to fans, is dedicated to the sounds of the barrio (Spanish Harlem, NYC). Their music is characterized by the raw, organic and vintage sound defined by the genre.
