The Peruvian cajón fills us with pride

On 14 April 2013, Peru made Guinness World Record history. That day 1,476 Peruvian cajon players filled the main square of Lima with their music, beating a Guinness World Record of most people playing the instrument simultaneously. 

The World Record Guinness handed out the certificate accrediting that we met all the requirements for setting a new Guinness World Record. Rafael Santa Cruz was the musical director of this festival and he demonstrated that when united, Peruvians are capable of great deeds.

Marca Perú is proud to support all these events that boost the image of our country abroad.
