Folk and World
Alturas is a Preuvian band created in the university tuna Nueva Amistad on April 22, 1978 by the current director Édgar García Cossío and with the musicologist Aurelio Tello Malpartida, the initial band was completed with Iván Catacora, Juan Carlos Dianteras, Percy Navarro and César González , with occasional collaborations by Ada Allende. The name Alturas was adopted from the famous song "Alturas" from Horacio Salinas, popularized by Inti Illimani, other reason for that name resides in that all its members were born in the highlands ("alturas") from Peru. In 1979 two more members joined: Miguel Osorio who retired in 1983, and Luis Medina still in the group today. That same year they acted for the Peruvian TV thanks to a very important personality in folk music: Nicomedes Santa Cruz.
