Cordero y Velarde Inca

Overview

Photographic portrait of the life of Don Pedro Cordero y Velarde (1885-1961), composer of operas with Inca themes, who after an emotional crisis became alienated and moved definitively to the lost paradise of the Inca Empire, proclaimed himself Inca and walked around Lima in the 1950s dressed as an operetta Inca, announcing that he would solve the problems of the poor and helpless with his edicts in the name of the sun god.
