El
grupo Kuyayky esta conformado por la familia Hurtado Bonilla, Rubí,
en la guitarra y primera voz; Jose Luis en la mandolina y cuarta voz;
Yina en el charango y la segunda voz; Mariluz en los instrumentos
de viento y tercera voz; y Candy en la percusion y primera voz tambien.
Son los padres, Jose Luis y Edda, los que en todo momento fomentaron
la formacion musical de sus hijos. Las presentaciones de los hermanos
Hurtado comenzaron cuando eran aun pequeños en los principales auditorios
e iglesias de su ciudad natal, Jauja, y pronto se extendieron a Lima,
la capital del pais. Actualmente, el grupo se ha presentado en numerosos
lugares en los Estados Unidos, llevando su musica y su arte al publico
norteamericano en universidades, escuelas, iglesias, asi como en diversas
actividades culturales con el objetivo de promover y compartir su
musica y raices con el mundo.
The
Kuyayky group is conformed by the Hurtado Bonilla family. Rubi at
the guitar and first voice; Jose Luis, the only boy, at the mandoline
and baritone; Yina, at the charango and alto voice; Mariluz at the
wind pipes and high tenor; and Candy at the percusion and also first
voice. The group is finally conformed with the birth of the youngest,
since their parents, Jose Luis and Edda, at all times play an important
role in instructing and encouraging the kids to sing. As very young
children in Peru, they would always perform in the main theaters and
churches at their natal city, Jauja and soon they had important performances
in Lima, the capital city. Today, they have largely performed for
the American public, taking their music and art to places such as
churches, universities, schools, and cultural activities. Their wish
is to promote and share their music and roots with the world.
