Daniela Prado, who participated in La voz Perú, in Guillermo Dávila’s team, will release this October 15, his first EP ‘Torcaza’, which will be available on all digital platforms. With this work, the singer imposes the Folk Pop of Peruvian and Latin American roots on the national scene, a genre that fuses contemporary sounds, but that places national folklore as a rhythmic center.
The EP ‘Torcaza’ collects five songs: four of her own and the traditional Ayacucho huaino Paloma Torcaza, which marked the artist’s childhood, as she heard it for the first time in the voice of her father, the Andean music interpreter and first voice of the Duo. Ayacucho, Carlos Prado.

Therefore the title of his first EP, because in this way Daniela wanted to symbolize her respect and admiration for Andean music, for his roots, and make clear his source of inspiration for his Folk Pop proposal.
‘Torcaza’ contains four songs of his authorship, two of them already released: ‘Si Te Di’ and ‘Leavelo Atrás’, his first singles that he presented in 2019, under the direction and production of the guitarist, arranger and composer Yank Hasel, and with two-time Latin Grammy nominee, sound engineer Oscar Santisteban.
Daniela, who is 22 years old, consolidates her professional career as a songwriter and singer, the same one that began at the age of 14, when she decided to follow the path of music. Since then, she has been very active in the local music scene, opening up space with her Peruvian-rooted Folk Pop proposal. This is how he rescued the sound of Andean folklore and immediately introduced it to his themes.
Two new songs complete the EP: ‘Don’t let her go’ and ‘Un poquito de ti’, produced and recorded in the middle of the pandemic. The musician and music producer Martín Venegas was in charge of the direction and production, along with Daniela Prado. In both songs the huancaíno saxophone is present.
