Peruvian Has Loved Russia for 20 YEARS! | The Viral Mariachi Band in Rostov-on-Don
Today, we are releasing a very musical video! 🎶 Meet Peruvian 🇵🇪 John Javier Huarayo Yaya from Lima, the frontman of the band @MariachiLosPanchos performing not in Mexico 🇲🇽 but in Rostov-on-Don, Russia 🇷🇺
🎷🎸🎺This is a very multicultural band: Peruvian, Russian-Guatemalan, Latin American, Dominican... 🌎 Meet them all! Mariachi Los Panchos began playing covers of popular Russian songs and instantly went viral, amassing hundreds of thousands of views: 💥
Javier has been living in Russia for 20 years after coming here as a young tourist. He is a psychologist and sociologist by profession, but he devotes most of his time to playing music at marriage proposals, weddings, and even musical apologies. “We sing serenades even in winter,” they say.
☹️ But life in Russia wasn’t always rosy: Javier also remembered terrible stories about racism and skinheads in the early 2000s; in one of the incidents, his close friend was killed... However, a lot has changed since then.
We spoke with Javier about the difference between Peruvian 🇵🇪 and Russian 🇷🇺 mentality, Russian music, his Russian wife, Russian cuisine (BTW, have you ever tried solyanka and jellied meat?), and he admitted that he has a Russian soul.
