10:29 | Lima, Nov. 05 (ANDINA).
Neil Tennant, the lead singer of the Pet Shop Boys, hailed Peru and its gastronomy in the column he writes for the British weekly The Spectator.
“Lima is a gastronomic capital,” wrote the musician, who, along with his partner Chris Lowe, offered an unforgettable concert in Lima on October 20 at the Jockey Club.
In his column, called “Diary”, Tennant meets with his readers after a two month tour through Latin America which ended in Lima. The lead singer recommended Peru to all his fans.
“Apparently, there are 35 weather systems on the planet and Peru has 28 of them, hence its immense variety of food,” wrote the singer in The Spectator.
“I can’t recommend it highly enough,” he added.
Regarding the local gastronomy, he recalls that “we were there for three days and every meal we ate was outstanding.”
“Peru is blessed with high-quality ingredients and excellent chefs whose influences are both local and Asian,” he pointed out.
Pet Shop Boys has had over 20 years of success in the music industry, recording 10 studio albums, a slew of remix and compilation albums, and releasing over 55 singles.
With singles ranging from originals like “West End Girls” and “Rent” to popular covers including Elvis Presley’s “Always on My Mind,” Pet Shop Boys solidified a place in the pop/dance music scene, continuing to expand the electronic music genre.
