YERRRR! Welcome back to another episode of Oye Mi Gente! Podcast. This week, our guest is mi chochera, dancer extraordinaire, Manny Fernandez. Join us on this heart to heart about our Peruvian Identity, Culture, and returning back to our roots. Manny Fernandez originally from Lima, Peru is a dancer, director, choreographer, and activist who researches, illustrates and creates Afro- Peruvian art. He has worked with many dance companies such as Lakai Dance Theater, Benkadi Drum and Dance and Ballet Russes. He has done most of his training in Boston at the Roxbury center for performing arts, The Dance Complex and has traveled to Peru to train in Afro-Peruvian dance. Being involved in the diaspora dance community for 10 years has inspired him to bring more awareness of Afro-Peruvian culture.
