Johnny Mora, a Peruvian-born professional musician, is renowned for his exceptional talent and expertise in playing percussion instruments. With a passion for music that sparked at an early age, Mr. Mora's journey led him to become a member of the prestigious cultural group Perú Negro for over a decade, where he honed his skills and immersed himself in the rich musical traditions of Peru.
