Manuel Sanz is one of the most important promises of Peruvian cumbia. He has been in important groups such as Grupo 5, Hermanos Yaipén, Orquesta Candela, Son de Ríos and Caribeños de Guadalupe. Currently, he is the vocalist of Amaya Hermanos, but, in parallel, he works on his project as a soloist, for which he has traveled to different areas of Peru and abroad.
In this interview with La República, the Chiclayano reviews his career. The singer Manuel Sanz, 33 years old, has more than 15 years in the world of cumbia. Everything he has achieved is thanks to his efforts.
“It is the product of work, of the study of music and singing. “You improve and that’s where the results come from: joining big orchestras,” says the interpreter of ‘I promise to forget you’ and ‘He felt love’. How did Manuel Sanz enter Group 5? At just 17 years old, Manuel Sánchez (his real name) had the opportunity to be part of the ‘Golden Group’.
At that time, the northerner did not have much experience in cumbia, since he dedicated himself to singing rancheras; Therefore, it was very difficult for him to learn the choreographies. However, he had the support of Lucho Cuéllar, Kike Paz and other colleagues. “ Group 5 was my school.
I sang Mexican music before joining Group 5 and I was very inexperienced, but I was given the opportunity to be part of this important orchestra and, for me, it was a blessing. Always (I am) grateful to the Yaipén family ”. YOU CAN SEE: Max Agui.
