Pasito a paso

"Published in 2020 by MATE - Museo Mario Testino, 'Pasito a Paso' is a contemporary view of one of Peru's most beloved traditions: The Marinera dance. Renown fashion and portrait photographer Mario Testino captures the dance from its flirtatious and accelerated pace to the details that define its costumes: voluminous skirts, intricate filigree jewellery, scarves and sashes. This book is an invitation to contemplate Marinera's origin and evolution. It is a celebration of a celebration. The images in the book were photographed by Mario Testino throughout 2019 in the Peruvian regions of Trujillo, Lurín, and Lima. Testino's photographs feature detailed aspects of the dance through portraits of Marinera's national champions in action and local models wearing historical and traditional Marinera costumes. The song "Pasito a paso otra vez", with music by Juan Castro Nalli, was the inspiration for the title of the book" --Author's webpage
