Musicians from the Peruvian Army, Navy and Air Force played a selection of military marches, surprising guests, but that was not all. The dance partners stole the show, members of our military surprised the audience with two traditional Peruvian dances, Marinera and Huaino.The Military Band delighted the audience for more than 15 minutes at the Buenos Aires Polo Course.
