And now it's time for a Peruvian artist!
He is the most international Peruvian male singer, probably along with Gian Marco (who has gotten more fame as a songwriter responsible of hit singles by Gloria Estefan, Emmanuel, Obie Bermudez).
Pedro's career started about 20 years ago with the group Arena Hash, which only recorded 2 albums but had 2 of the biggest Pop-Rock songs of a Peruvian act. They were about to be signed by Sony International, but they decided to split at their peak.
From that group, all 4 managed to record albums as solo artists, with different luck. The second best was Christian Meier, who got a good solo career but an even better actor career, starring many popular soap operas and important movies such as "No Se Lo Digas A Nadie".
Pedro Suarez Vertiz was definitely the most immediate and biggest artist from the group, with a huge debut album by 1993 "No Existen Tecnicas Para Olvidarte". His second album "Pontelo En La Lengua" was made with an international record label and his songs and videos had much more production and were seen in some international music video channes -- a first for us! since then, his videos have been played with some frequency :)
In 2009 Pedro is releasing his latest album "Amazonas". Pedro is neither a very good songwriter, nor a great vocalist, but the package of catchy tunes, good production, good Pop interpretation of his own songs, generally are good enough :)
This time, I am not completely satisfied because he is dealing with the issue of air pollution, contamination, etc, and may be too much of a deal for him. Still, the song is catchy enough for me to like it despite some cheesiness in the lyrics. And well, the fact that it is a good video with scenes from my home country is a plus of course, hehe.
