A few days ago, Suárez-Vértiz announced in his social networks, that Guillermo Bussinger, vocalist of his band, will be the main singer while his daughter, Mariajosé, will perform the vocal harmonies. He also mentioned that he would use typical instruments such as the Peruvian “cajón” and Andean wind instruments such as the “Zampoña”.
