According to promoter, Derek Nally, this is the first time that Apu, the indigenous Peruvian sextet, has migrated as far as Ireland, with their almost impossibly sunny, Andean ensemble of pan-pipes, wooden flutes, charango, big bombo drums, Latin-accented guitars and vocal harmonies wrapped around songs sung in most Colonial Spanish and Quechua, the ancient ruling language and lingua franca of the vast disappeared Incan Empire which radiated outwards from central Peru. The band was set up in 1983 by the three Puente de la Vega brothers from what was once the ancient Incan capital of Cusco. They toured South America before re-locating to England a decade ago. There they started busking and are now steadily chewing their way to the tops of world music playbills. Joined by three virtuoso contemporaries, they introduced their music with folkloric little spins of background, colourful fragments of the cultural heritage of the land they left behind.
