met with the press and, after thanking the support and love they have received from their compatriots, they stated that this Grammy Award —the highest in the world of music— should not only be a reason for celebration but also for "being proud of being Peruvian."
The Nikkei Peruvian performer said that one must "believe in oneself" in life and cited herself as an example, revealing that she never stopped cherishing her dreams.
Her son, Tony, reaffirmed his mother's great talent and revealed that everything they have achieved is thanks to the support they have received as children, not only from Mimy but also from Don Antonio, his father.
The producer said it should be noted that this award recognizes excellence, and that such a distinction would not have been possible in a commercial music category.
For this reason, Succar was determined to highlight Peruvian music in order to continue promoting it worldwide. He mentioned that Susana Baca is in contact with the family, and they hope to record with her.
"Eva Ayllon is also an eminence, and young people like Coti Loyola, a salsa singer who is gaining a lot of recognition, and Jair Mendoza, are also in the spotlight. We will have more surprises," he stated.
