professional career of 30 years, which she presented before 30,000 adoring fans in Lima. Aylln is one
of the only Peruvian artists on the international stage that can completely sell out a performance venue.

then, her musical presence continues to expand its boundaries. In her commitment to broaden the
awareness of Afro-Peruvian culture, Aylln changed her residence from Lima, Peru to New Jersey last
year. Since then, she and her group have been touring across Europe, North America, and Latin America
extensively. Leyenda Peruana was extremely well-received everywhere, and in Germany it received the
Critics Choice award for best traditional recording. In December of 2005, Eva returned to Lima to
perform her first concert since her departure. She was asked to open for Marc Anthony, where they
sang a duet together in front of 30,000 fans. In April of 2007, Aylln had the honor of singing at the
inauguration of the first woman elected to the highest office in the neighboring nation of Chile.
In the fall of 2007, Eva Ayllon En Vivo: Live From Hollywood was released, which includes a live concert
recorded at the Ford Amphitheatre in the summer of 2006.
Being able to sing is the most wonderful gift that God bestowed on me and singing for my country,
Peru, gives me a sense of great pride. Thanks to each and every single one of you who have supported
me during my career, and thanks for keeping me in a little place in your hearts and in your homes.
