Padre Diego, 25 Years of Peace and Joy

Celebrating 25 Years Singing Christian Music

Exult, you just, in the Lord; 
praise from the upright is fitting.
Give thanks to the Lord on the harp; 
with the ten-stringed lyre chant his praises.
(Ps 33, 1-2)

Sing to the Lord a new song,
for he has done wondrous deeds;
His right hand has won victory for him,
his holy arm.
(Ps 98, 1-2)

It's been 25 years since I started doing and singing Christian Popular Music. 

This two and many other verses from the Psalms have been encouraging me to keep sharing the Love, Peace and Joy of the Lord through Music. The Psalms were always a constant source of strenght and inspiration. 

It all began when with Leo Varela and Sister Flora we founded the group "PachAmérica". We had the dream of making music like our friends from the group Siembra but we ended having our own style.
 
With Audiovisuales del Perú (ADEP) we recorded our first album in 1992 and then we finished two other albums with songs that became classics in the parishes of Lima, several provinces of Peru, Colombia and El Salvador. I was 8 wonderful years with PachAmérica.

On the year 2000 I decided to leave the group in order to explore other options. I met Jhonatan Prado with whom we composed and arranged several of my songs.

After a few months of singing solo, we founded the group "Los Musukos" with young musicians who agreed to play with me. Long sessions of practice and sharing our lives made us a family. Our songs and music took us along the coast, sierra and jungle, south, centrer and north of Peru. 

Young and old, we tried to evangelize with music, sharing songs with human and Christian values among the people, singing  their frustrations and hopes, their sorrows and joys. After a few years each one went on their way and again as a soloist I continued working on new songs, new styles and playing with new musicians, artists and singers. 

This album is a compilation of my classic songs and some new ones, all in the style of Bachata, Ballads and Rock. 
I hope you will enjoy it. 

PEACE AND JOY IN THE LORD OF LIFE
