Roman Rojas of the Eastside Punks Podcast stopped by Eric Kurimski’s house in New York City to talk for a while and hear him play. Eric is a guitarrist that has spent years perfecting and studying Afro Peruvian music. "The spectacular playing and skillful blend of acoustic and electric tones bring authority to this brilliant co-mingling of (jazz and Afro Peruvian) traditions that are, after all, rooted in the same musical heritage." - Guitar Player Magazine (Jan '09) "...2008 will be remembered as the year that Latin Jazz officially stepped outside the authority of Afro-Cuban and Brazilian rhythms, and leading the charge is Eric Kurimski’s outstanding Afro- Peruvian Jazz album Réplica." - Latin Jazz Corner "The true essence of the Peruvian Cajon (box) walks hand and hand with the modern Jazz Guitar through the streets of New York." - Rafael Santa Cruz (www.cajonperuano.org) “...elaborate guitar work that goes beyond the usual accompaniment found in many Afro- Peruvian bands.” - Angel Romero (www.worldmusiccentral.org)
