FLOR DE LOTO is a present Peruvian Progressive rock band, led by the flautist Johnny PEREZ. The outfit brillantly blends elements of Seventies Progressive rock with Andean music. This style might as well remind of JETHRO TULL, if Ian ANDERSON's band ever felt like emigrating to South America ! Flute and guitar riffs are omnipresent, which enhances the charm of this elegant and joyful music. Released on the Musea and Mylodon labels as a co-venture in the year 2005, the first self-titled album shows a true achievement in the instrumental Progressive rock field. The second opus "Madre Tierra" (2007) forgets the all-instrumental formula, just the time of performing two titles sung in Spanish. A few interesting borrowings to celtic folk or heavy-metal are also noteworthy. Published in the year 2009, "Mundos Bizarros" goes even deeper into the dark side of the Peruvian band, for our greatest pleasure. To be discovered !
