Dear Bart,
The Peruvian musicians and families also found Sydney, Australia some ten or so years back and come here to entertain annually during our summer season.
I noticed the first band for 2011 here at Circular Quay, near our Sunday pub gig, a few weeks ago.
However, they have yet to pop in for a sit-in.

There has been a small and growing community of expats from Peru in Australia since the 1960s.
Kind regards,
Bill.
