Javier Regalado Guerra (left), Jhanet Regalado Arica and her husband Michael Ayala Alva play music at least one Sunday a month at Cristo Rey Lutheran Church in Lima, Peru. Arica plays the charango and Alva plays the zampoñas, instruments used to create traditional Peruvian folkloric music. The group, known as Emanuel, started in 1980 when Guerra and his wife Florencia Arica Gutierrez sang together. Now the group includes five of their children, one in-law and sev- eral Andean instruments.


Patricia Regalado Arica plays the chap- chas, a percussion instrument made of seeds.


Milagros Regalado Arica plays the bombo, a large sheep- skin drum, during a rehearsal before worship.


Michael Ayala Alva plays the zampoñas during worship.


Florencia Arica Gutierrez sings and shakes a palo de lluvia (rainstick) to create worship music.
