Arrow A Taste of Afro-Peruvian Music | Tony Succar | TEDxFIU


Tony Succar brings folkloric Afro Peruvian rhythms such as Landó & Festejo to Miami. His band "Mixtura" is made of musicians from Cuba, Venezuela, Peru, Aruba and more. The blend of musical cultures is what creates a distinct sound in performing this traditional music.

"Toro Mata" and "Ritmo, Color y Sabor" are anthems in Afro-Peruvian repertoire, inspired by and in tribute to the great Peruvian composers and musicians Caitro Soto, Carlos Rincon, Moises Vargas, Eva Ayllon and Tito Manrique.

Afro-Peruvian music, or Música negra, is a type of Latin American music first developed by black slaves from West Africa in South America, and especially in Peru. The genre is a mix of West African and Spanish music. The cajón, played by Tony, is the most widely used Afro-Peruvian musical instrument since the late 18th century. Slaves of west and central Africanorigin in the Americas are considered to be the source of the cajón drum.

Born into a family of talented musicians in Lima, Peru on May 18, 1986, Tony Succar’s very DNA must be imbued with cadence and rhythm. The Succar family moved to Miami, Florida when Tony was just two; at the ripe old age of 13, Tony’s own music career began. He says, “I was privileged to be brought up in a family of musicians: I couldn’t be more grateful.” Succar’s music education began on piano then segued to percussion. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Jazz Performance from Florida International University in 2008 and his Master’s degree in 2010.
