With his extraordinary voice, Victor immediately captivates his audience. The Peruvian singer and guitarist hails from Cusco, a city in the Peruvian Andes that was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Born in 1973, the autodidact is deeply rooted in the AfroAndean music of his hometown. After a phase of life in Germany, Victor found his new home on the Canary Island of La Palma. There he met Markus Friedrichsen, saxophonist and founder of ELBKLANG from Hamburg, in 2019. A deep musical friendship developed and a shared passion for the rhythms of Latin America. They will be accompanied by percussionist Stephan Krause, who has made several guest appearances at the Elbphilharmonie with his Essemble Elbtonal. The Victor Varrillo Trio takes you on an exciting musical journey from Peru to Cuba. Enjoy!
