About Me
- The Frogger
- Last year,I attended an Afro-Peruvian Jazz concert among the endless endless rows of corn in rural Ohio. Six months later I find myself alone in Lima, surrounded by the Andes Mountains, researching this incredible music and the people who make it.

Ola Frogger!
I hope you tell us more about your own musical proclivities -
And I hope you will share some interviews with the musicians that will be featured on the Saponegro label.
Peace out, casa slice.

Hi Frogger!
Your madre told me about your blog this morning and I had a chance to visit. What an exciting adventure! I've never heard of Afro-Peruvian music, so I'll have to check it out. I hope you have a great time there.
Best wishes,
Will Dix
