Lorenzo also continues to expand his career as a performer, sharing the stage with world-renowned artists such as Alex Acuña, Nestor Torres, Otmaro Ruiz, Oscar Stagnaro, Ramon Stagnaro, to name a few. While in Los Angeles, Lorenzo has fulfilled a lifetime dream and, alongside Peruvian saxophonist Anibal Seminario, he is now the co-founder and director of The Afro Peruvian Jazz Orchestra; a 22-piece Big Band that blends Afro Peruvian rhythms and culture with traditional Big Band music style. They have performed at several jazz festivals in the US, and their last album, "Tradiciones," was nominated for the Latin Grammys 2020 for the best Jazz album, and Lorenzo’s arrangement of “La Flor De La Canela” won the award for Best Arrangement.
