Being born black marked a difficult path in her life: after the premature death of her father and a fire that left her homeless with her 15 siblings, she worked the streets to financially support her mother, and at age 5 learned to sing in bars while begging in the port of Callao. After being admitted to a Franciscan convent and having studied only up to the third grade of elementary school, she returned home, but suffered an attempted rape by her new stepfather; she was forced to move to the central neighborhood of Barrios Altos, to live with her uncle, a guitarist of the legendary Guardia Vieja, also known as the founders of the Peruvian criollo waltz. This group of non-professional musicians, made up of masons, merchants, artisans, marble workers and other employees, extended the oral traditions of their African slave ancestors in the working-class neighborhoods of the capital. It was there that Lucha Reyes, at age 16, gathered the legacy of the Guardia Vieja and her life changed forever: she was often asked to sing at the jaranas (criollo parties), and as her voice immediately stood out, she was encouraged to make her debut on a radio show called \"El Sentir de los Barrios\", where she performed the waltz \"Abandonada\" by Sixto Carrera.","brand":"Lucha Reyes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57469679403352,"sku":null,"price":23908048.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/5400838034904.jpg?v=1780872344","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/lucha-reyes_remembranzas-vol-i_2024_lba","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
