Jose Fernando Galvan Chira born in Maryland, USA with native roots from Perú. He began his musical journey at the age of 6 playing Afro-Peruvian music. José always idolized his late grandfather Pepe Chira, who sang boleros and valses, and influenced Jose at a very young age his love of music. While in elementary & middle school, he developed his skills playing the Cajón (a box-shaped percussion instrument originally from Peru, played by slapping the front or rear faces) Jose’s introduction to the genre of Latin Music took place when his father bought him his first set of Congas & Timbales when he was about 11 years old. In 2012, Jose became co founder & co owner of Orquesta Rumba y Sabor de Los Hermanos Galván with now the bands name being Hermanos Galvan & Orquesta. Now in 2023, Jose is currently the musical director, lead singer, percussionist & proudly endorses Soultone Cymbals.
