Pisco Sour, Afro-Peruvian Music and a great company! Peru National Day Celebration

Salud!

 What Happened?

The 27th of July 2023 earmarked the Peruvian National Day celebration in Ghana, a grand celebration of culture at the Residence of Peru in Ghana.

The Event hosted by the Peru Ambassador to Ghana, His Excellency Abel Antonio Cardenas Tuppia and the Honorary Consul, Mr Ghassan Yared, in Accra, Ghana, was worth the experience.

What are people saying?

The Peru National Day, which Diplomats from various countries in Ghana well attended, also hosted students, Ghanaian and foreign dignitaries, Businessmen and media personalities. 

The welcome brooch of Peru and Ghana Flag was a souvenir everyone loved and mentally got the attendees into the celebration mood. 

The Event's highlights included the Beautiful gallery setup, food, drinks and music.

The Talkative:

Peru National Day on the 28th of July is one of the most important holidays in Peru and all Peruvian communities. It celebrates Peru's independence from the Spanish empire by José de San Martin, with the 29th of July commemorating the establishment of the Republic of Peru.

At the Event, the Embassy used diverse means to project the Peruvian culture and to tell the story of its rich culture. The massive screen at the Event projected the history and preparation of the national drink of Peru, Pisco Sour. While the video was on a loop, the hospitable service team used the opportunity to share a glass of Pisco Sour with all of its guests. The delicious and flavourful Pisco sour gave the tongue a quick trip to Peru and its beautiful culture. 

The Peruvian and Afro-Peruvian Music played at the Event was also a great way for the Embassy to connect its guests to the rich Culture of Peru. His Excellency Abel Antonio Cardenas Tuppia and the new Peruvian Ambassador Liliana Gómez de Weston ensured their guests had a great time and seized every opportunity to educate them more about the Peruvian culture. 

The Event was well attended, and the excitement of its guest was proof of the great relationship Peru has established with other countries over the years. Salud!
