Miki Gonzalez is a multifaceted Peruvian musician, producer, and composer whose eclectic work spans across various genres, from rock and pop to Afro-Peruvian rhythms and electronic music. Born Juan Manuel González Mascías on February 14, 1952, in Madrid, Spain, he grew up in a household steeped in artistic influences—his mother was a painter and his father a playwright. Gonzalez's music career began to pick up steam in the 1980s when he became one of the key figures in the Peruvian rock scene, infusing traditional Andean sounds with modern rock and pop elements.

Throughout his career, Gonzalez has continued to evolve, endlessly experimenting with the sounds of his heritage and contemporary styles. His recent works such as "Tawantin Grooves (Remix)," "El Mito del Ayahuasca," and "Perú Ethno Beats" reflect his deep dive into electronic music, merging ancestral melodies with cutting-edge production. With albums like "Koro Kemboro" and "Inka Beats Kimsa," Miki Gonzalez has remained committed to exploring and celebrating the rich tapestry of Peruvian musical traditions, while "Crónicas 80 - 90" pays homage to his rock roots. His ability to cross musical boundaries, along with his unique talent for integrating traditional Peruvian instruments with modern technology, has established him as a distinctive and revered figure in Latin American music.
