Journalist Elena Bustamante attests to Ayllon's met= iculous search for meaning and motivation behind the compositions she sings= =2E The art of Eva Ayllon's performance is her ability to soar through the = heart and soul of a Cuban "feel" of music with a rhythmic explosion of the = Caribbean which manifests into a very ripe sound and form of Argentinian mu= sic. In spite of her international magnetism as Peru's best, Ayllon resides= in her home country where the heart of her work continues to reach its div= erse Peruvian communities.
