Lucila Campos was a revered Afro-Peruvian singer, esteemed for her rich, emotive voice that became synonymous with the cultural mosaic of Peru's music. Born in Lima on August 16, 1938, her musical journey began in the theatrical company of Pancho Fierro before she ultimately became a prominent figure in the Peruvian artistic community. Lucila's career gained significant recognition in the 1960s when she joined the renowned Peruvian musical ensemble Perú Negro, a group dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Afro-Peruvian culture and music.

Specializing in genres such as festejo, vals, and landó, Lucila Campos breathed new life into Afro-Peruvian rhythms, becoming an indispensable icon of her nation's cultural heritage. Her powerful stage presence and ability to convey the essence of Peruvian music through her performances earned her the affectionate nickname "La Morena de Oro del Perú" (The Golden Brunette of Peru). Over the decades, Lucila released several albums, including "Lucila Siempre Lucila," "Sabor y Más Sabor," and a collaboration album with fellow Peruvian artist Arturo "Zambo" Cavero titled "Arturo 'Zambo' Cavero & Lucila Campos: Desde el Cielo Le Cantan al Perú," which posthumously celebrated their contributions to their country's musical tapestry. Lucila Campos' dedication to her art left an indelible mark on the Peruvian music scene, and her recorded works remain a testament to her talent and cultural significance. Lucila Campos passed away on December 12, 2016, but her music and legacy continue to inspire and bring joy to audiences both in Peru and around the world.
