Estoy profundamente agradecido que un extranjero se haya tomado el tiempo de hacer una breve historia de la cumbia Peruana , ya que se merecen un reconocimiento por tan magnifico trabajo y talento , pioneros en usar guitarras eléctricas y darle su propia interpretación , estoy complacido

First, we congratulate the producer on this report on the Psychedelic Amazonian Cumbia. Secondly, we respect everything detailed in this documentary, but we don't share the opinion regarding Los Mirlos. It is true that we made two cover songs of our musical brothers of Los Wemblers, where the copyright is respected. And doing a cover isn't a bad thing because they both benefit in their copyright and performer's rights. But it's also true that the first members contributed with emblematic and instrumental songs, such as: - "La Danza de Los Mirlos" from Gilberto Reátegui, considered as the cumbia of America and not mentioned in this report. And we currently have our documentary of the same name: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7NgqK9pkrW-dGQ.html. Others such as El Milagro Verde, Lamento en la Selva, El Sonido de Los Mirlos, El Escape, El Poder Verde, Eres Mentirosa, etc. Also, don't mention the international success of our group, since we were the pioneers in taking the Amazonian Cumbia abroad since 1978 through our musical productions on vinyl and festival presentations abroad since 1980. Los Mirlos is a group that spreads music and culture of Peruvian Amazon, with the sound of their guitars that give it identity and personality, which is the reason for its existence, about to turn 50 years old. A brand that has positioned itself in the national and international market, making a difference among the others. Congratulations and greetings from Perú.

As a Peruvian born in Lima, it's astonishing to hear an english video talk about peruvian history and its music, it's like im watching my country through totally different lens, thank you!

I was halfway through the video and paused it to listen to Los Destellos. Just one track. It was like 2 hours ago and I am still down the Peruvian music rabbit hole. Cheers mate, you make me love music even more.

Omg as a Méxican i got into Peruvian cumbia last year and I’m so glad there is a video talking about that time, psychedelic cumbia is the best mixture of music and on top of that each band has their own flavor. My favorite artists are Mily with pintura roja, los shapis, grupo néctar, súper grupo and many more!!! I wish I experienced those tracks at those times 💜

"La Danza de los Mirlos" a Peruvian Psychedelic Cumbia tune is nowadays a "Cumbia Standard"

Soy rockeraza, a morir..... Pero la guitarra cumbiambera peruana es otro levelll !!!

I'm totally impressed by the fact that an English speaker is interested in Peruvian music and made a long video talking about Amazonian cumbia. Such a great job, man!❣

Peru has an amazing culture, really makes you proud to be Peruvian

I am a NewZealander of British descent. About a decade ago I watched a film called El Violin. There was a scene in a bar where the soundtrack featured music. I was so intrigued by the music I searched it and found it was by an artist Cuauhtémoc Tavira, and was a Cumbia. I found a whole new kind of music I like just from that one little scene.

As a Peruvian from Lima, I would like to say thanks for this video! Very cool and needed tour of Peruvian Cumbia!! I love Los Destellos, Los Ecos, Los Wemblers, Juaneco and Chacalon!! One comment expanding some of what is being said in this video (not a correction, because we all understand the time-constraints the author faces) is the description of the meaning of the term ¨chicha¨ beyond the music (which is not that accurate): ¨it (Chicha) meant shabby homes and low skilled jobs, as well as clothing and cuisine associated with lower class migrant life¨. We Peruvians mostly do not use the word ¨Chicha¨ to refer to clothing, food, or low class homes. Most of the andean migrants arrived in Lima with nothing. They did not have the means to rent a place in the city. And so, they started to build very humble houses, made of straws, in the outskirts of Lima, where there was no drinkable water, no electricity and no water drains. They were literally moving into dusty plains where there was nothing before. That is how one of the biggest districts of Lima started ¨Villa El Salvador¨. They were brave and courageous people. That is why they used to say: ¨Cuando Chacalón canta, los cerros bajan (When Chacalon sings, the hills come down)¨ because most of the people living in very tough conditions on those dusty hills in the outskirts of Lima were andean migrants and many, if not all, of them were devoted fans of Chacalon and would go down to the city to see Chacalon. Coming back to the term ¨chicha¨. Surely, Chicha is a specific andean drink. But in Lima, at that time, that meaning got overshadowed very fast. In the early 80s,¨Chicha¨was strongly associated with this music and to the people that listened to this music, the andean migrants that came to Lima. There is no doubt that there was a big wave of racism against these migrants, there was a twisted process of ¨othering¨ them, coming from the middle and high socio-economic classes that were already living in Lima. These people felt threatened with the massive arrival of the Andean migrants. Very soon, these migrants who did not manage to find jobs in Lima, due to racism, language issues (they spoke mostly quechua) and also lack of jobs, started to create their own jobs. They started to sell everything in the streets of Lima. They sold anything from candy, water, clothes, food, etc. They also started to rent mini vans to transport people, as a sort of informal bus system. And little by little, they started their own businesses providing other types of services. All that became a sort of informal economic system that was not seen with good eyes by the middle and high classes of Lima, who saw this movement with a hidden anger. They criticized this informal economic activity, they saw it as chaotic and lacking any organization. Somehow, the middle and high classes of Lima felt that these migrants had ruined their city (Nevermind, the city was not in such a great shape anyway, and the migrants actually renewed the city and brought their rich legacy to the cultural melting pot of the capital.) So, since these people sort of hated what the migrants represented and one of the strongest words associated with the migrants was ¨Chicha¨ (due to the music), these middle and high classes started to attach to the word ¨chicha´, everything that they believed was wrong with the migrants. And it became an adjective that described everything that, for them, was wrong with the migrants. It became a sort of derogatory adjective to refer to anything that was done in a sort of cheap way, put together fast, that lacked organization, that lacked quality, that lacked class. Surely, these people did not listen to Chicha, and if at that time or even in the 2000s, .you listened to Chicha in a middle class neighborhood of Lima, they would ¨other¨ you, they would see you as less, as a member of a lower class. Some examples:¨tren chicha¨(referring to the Lima train that was built on the cheap), ¨presupuesto chicha¨ (referring to a budget put together overnight), ¨parlamentario chicha¨( a senate member who changes his political party affiliation like changing his underwear) ¨partido politico chicha¨ ( a political party that has no tradition or history and that was created a week before the elections), or even ¨colores chicha¨ (colors that are not harmonious but rather intense, and contrasting), ¨diario chicha¨ (a newspaper that has no standard for journalism and that can create fake headlines or twist the truth just to sell). Happily, nowadays, the meaning of Chicha is mostly, if not solely, musical and that is great!! And as somebody commented below, thanks to Bareto, La Nueva Invasion and other bands, Peruvian Cumbia and, somehow, Chicha have started to become accepted and embraced by the middle and high classes of Peru. Although not fully, there are people from Peru who still see Chicha as the music of the lower classes. I remember playing ¨El Arbolito¨ from ¨Grupo Nectar¨ in a Peruvian marriage a few years ago, and they got so mad that they almost threw me out of the party...I don´t want to imagine what would have happened if I would have played my next song which was ¨Mi Dolor¨ from Chacalón. LOL Lima is much better now thanks to those brave migrants that came to the capital and stay, despite all the rejection and lack of support. As with many stories of migration, the cultural legacy they left in that melting process was priceless, they gifted us with psychedelic cumbia and chicha!!!

I was just listening to The Roots of Chicha: Psychedelic Cumbias From Peru this morning. Such an underrated genre !

La cumbia Peruana tiene es un genero completamente diferente, las guitarras, la persecución, lo mejor le pudo haber pasado a la Argentina fue tener esa influencia musical de nuestros hermanos peruanos, con grupos como, grupo nectar, grupo karicia, grupo ciclon, los mirlos, y muchos mas que vinieron a la Argentina y formaron un lindo vinculo entre Peruanos y Argentinos.

Being from Argentina and having listened mainly to cumbia villera (a very different and interesting sub-genre too!) I remember how crazy it was to discover cumbia peruana, it felt so vintage and trippy. Thanks for doing such a serious and dedicated job when covering music and culture from abroad. You manage very well to avoid "exoticism" and stereotypes that are sometimes sported by anglosphere creators when discussing foreign topics in which politics and history are inevitably involved. This channel is truly great!

I think it's so cool that showed that map of LATAM with it's musical genres and crossed off only one as a tribute to its immense diversity and variety. Really much appreciated. As a Panamanian that now lives in a middle eastern country, I really feel that Latin America is an exemplary region of the world and even a hope for mankind in so many ways. Most media focus on its economic failures, but it is a region that so many races and religions co-exist in a way that is seldomly seen elsewhere. Not to mention the beauty of the natural environment.

This is a great crash course in Peruvian Cumbia! The genre came into my life in 2020 when I was "stuck" in Iquitos for 6 months during the Covid-19 pandemic shutdown and first found Los Wemblers and spanned out from there. It's been a long-time desire of mine to put together something similar to this documentary, but now I can just share this video with all my friends to educate them on my musical obsession. Viva La Cumbia Peruana!

Born and raised in Belém, Pará, Brasil, hometown of Carimbó and Lambada. These guys are HEROES there and oft played by lambada bands along with other latin-dance mainstays. The electric guitar never went out of fashion -- it's a dance instrument, first and foremost, and improvising while reading and interacting with the dancefloor's vibe is a must. Belém has the peculiarity of vibing more with the andes/amazon/caribbean than anywhere else in Brasil.

Due to the great influence of Peruvian psychedelic cumbia, the genre spread out in Colombia with a group called Afro sound. Must hear it.

As a Peruvian from Lima, I thank you very much for your contribution telling the story of this genre and such a interesting facts I did not know. You made me feel so proud! What Enrique wanted is play rock and rock but with a different touch and his contribution influenced this genre. This music was marginal, I remember this clearly when I was was kid, it was shameful to listen to this music, not played on the radio or by middle class people, but later, it suddenly became widely listened by people of all classes (including the upper class) in the last 10 years thanks to bands like Bareto, La Nueva Invasion, Cumbia All Stars and many others who brought the genre to the spot again. This made Juaneco, Destellos, Mirlos and other old school bands to reunite and play again, and they are listened and appreciated by new generations in Peru today. A topic you could explore as well is the artwork of the marketing posters in fluorescent and colorful themes developed by Elliot Tupac that became symbolic our culture.

Pretty amazing video. As a Salvadoran/Mexican American, who grew up stateside to Cumbia, I found this deeper dive into Psychedelic Rock, Cumbia and Chicha extremely fascinating. Saludos!

como peruano puedo decir que este es un documental excelente sobre la musica peruana .

Im a daughter of a Peruvian and Chilean. Whenever I hear the cumbia beat, I have to dance. I love it so much that I perform it too! Im planning to add a Huaynito to my set list (which includes some Mirlos).

This is so awesome 💕 I'm from México and around these parts bus drivers blast remixes of psychedelic cumbia (in a micro genre we call sonidero), and I'd never stopped to think about the history of that music ♥️ This is just wonderful. Muchas gracias💕

Chicha (Peruvian Cumbia) is one of the most amazing music genres in the world! ✨ Thank you for this video, world needs to know this beautiful music!

As a Chilean, it's wild to me that people don't know cumbia, is such a cultural mark here. As you mentioned, cumbia has had many variations from its Colombian roots, and here in Chile I would say the most noticeable difference lies in a big Bolero influence and the frequent use of accordions in the songs, also widely used in our traditional folk music Cueca, thanks to German and Croatian immigration during the 19th century. I recommend to anyone interested in the genre to listen to Chico Trujillo, La Sonora Palacios and La Sonora de Tommy Rey, those are the best and most influential cumbia bands in the country. Great video!

Hace años que busco un video asi! Siempre fui cumbiero y e experimentado y tocado varios subgeneros de la Cumbia. La Cumbia Psicodelica Peruana es legendario; Combina los elementos selvaticos de las culturas Indigenas y la modernidad del rock psicodelico. Enrique Delgado fue unos de los grandes maestros y compositores de la Chicha Peruana. Viva la Chicha, perdida en el tiempo. Viva Latinoamerica!

Buen documental, solo creo que faltó una de las piezas claves en la psicodelia que es la cumbia. "Onsta la yerbita" del grandísimo Enrique Delgado. 7 minutos de guitarras y desenfreno psicodélico

I'm peruvian, and i have to tell that Ayahuasca isn't a drug as they say in this video. Is a master plant used by our shaman ancestors, is an entheogen similar to San Pedro, it doesn't create a pleasant state, it isn't either addictive, it takes you to a hard inner revelation to subconscious, but this only if you're chosen by the spirit of the plant, otherwise you'll only get to threw it up... On the other hand, thankyou so much for the interest in investigate and post about our beautiful and magical music, as soon as you hear cumbia or chicha.. it's hard to avoid start dancing ccc:

There was a psychedelic rock/metal peruan band in the 70s called Tarkus, it was a little experimental too. I don't know if it have anything to do with cumbia but I think they were cool.

This video is something wonderful! As a peruvian and musician it really brought tears to my eyes seeing the level of accuracy and detail of your research and that you also put in context important parts of our recent history and social conditions. Thanks a lot man, muy buen contenido! 🇵🇪

Wonderful rendition of one of the many music genres of Peruvian folklore. As a Peruvian I have no words of how to express my appreciation for this video, through the photos as well historical footage shown here, you have taken many Peruvians way back, I am sure of that, thank you! FYI “vacilando” does not mean “floating” it means “partying “ or “having a great time” however because it is referring to Ayahuasca maybe so 😂

En 21 min de este video aprendí más de las raíces y evolución de una rama de la música popular peruana que en mis 25 años de práctica musical profesional. Felicitaciones!!

Saludos desde Colombia hermanos peruanos 👍

You missed Grupo Néctar (I love EL ARBOLITO!!!) but thanks for mentioning Rossywar and Los Ecos (Tres cruces is such a BOP)!!! I'm Mexican-Peruvian and I ABSOLUTELY love this music genre, its so vibrant and gives me so much energy!!! Thank you so much for this video. This summer I went to Perú to visit my family and I played Juaneco at the cemetery because it was my uncle's favorite band. 🤗

GRAN APORTE Y RECONOCIMIENTO ALOS MÚSICOS Y CREADORES PERUANOS, PAÍS BENDITO POR SU MULTICULTURALIDAD, EH AHÍ SU RIQUEZA CULTURAL, MUSICAL, GASTRONÓMICA, ETC...!!

Gracias a un gringo, que un mexicano (yo) conoce estas maravillosas bandas, estoy estupefacto!

For anyone interested in further bands, I believe Chacalon’s Amazonian equivalent was Ranil, a working class legend from the Amazonian city of Iquitos. I don’t know much further about him but his album Ranil’s Jungle Party is an absolute classic of the genre. If there are any Peruvians who can comment further on this, I would love to hear your knowledge!

Thank you for making this! Chicha/Cumbia has been some of my favorite music of all time since I first heard it around 10 years ago. Peru has produced better psychedelic music than what we got here in the states, IMO. If you want to hear something that is a little more of the folky side of psychedelic, but still 100% peruvian, look up the band, El Polen. .. ..They're amazing. PS; I fkn love your channel

I found Peruvian cumbia a few years ago and was lucky enough to find a compilation of popular songs on vinyl! Glad I came across this video!

Bro, this is amazing. This year I just started listening to cumbias from this time period, because Im learning spanish and love this sound. Destellos is one of my favorites. Now here you are, making an amazing documentary of the genre. You could not have come at a more perfect time. MUCHAS GRACIAS

Una de las principales características por las que se reconoce musicalmente a la cumbia peruana es en especial, el uso de la guitarra eléctrica y efectos de fuzztone como parte esencial del ritmo, también el uso muy común del pedal Wah-wah, que se ha mantenido hasta la actualidad desde que fuera escuchada casi por primera vez en la agrupación Los Destellos de Enrique Delgado, y su tema «La ardillita» para Discos Odeón en 1968. El tipo de ejecución sobre la guitarra eléctrica es de un estilo ya definido por el folclore particular del país de utilizar tonos altos de requinto (solo de guitarra)y por lo regular consiste de al menos una guitarra y hasta incluso tres, este tipo de composición es muy común en la mayoría de las agrupaciones peruanas con dos requintos (derivados de las arpas y guitarras ahuaynadas del Perú). El fuzztone (deformación eléctrica del sonido de cuerdas) y el solo son muy característicos de la cumbia peruana. La ejecución de la guitarra eléctrica en la cumbia peruana difiere de las hechas en México, Colombia y Argentina en el sentido de que la digitación sobre ese instrumento es distinta, mientras en los países mencionados los rasgueos sobre el instrumento son hacia abajo, los rasgueos en la guitarra de cumbia peruana son por lo regular rasgueos hacia arriba, o abajo o combinación de estas dos técnicas, derivadas de la digitación hecha en el huayno y la música criolla. Debido a que desde entonces las rítmicas y estilo en el uso de la guitarra eléctrica han seguido una pauta muy particular de estilo peruano siendo un instrumento protagonista mayoritariamente en las diversas variantes de la cumbia peruana, y a que se ha mantenido hasta la actualidad sin cambios como interpretación clásica. Para descubrir, la cumbia peruana, se puede, "sin vacilar", comenzar con estas 3 recopilaciones, con grupos variados pero también dominantes de la escena de esta época dorada : The Roots of Chicha - Psychedelic Cumbias From Peru (Vol. 1) The Roots of Chicha Vol. 2 - Psychedelic Cumbias From Peru, que es mas un disco de "Chicha" verdadera Cumbias Chichadélicas : Peruvian Psychedelic Chicha

Los Wemblers came to DC before the pandemic. I went to see them in Adams Morgan and danced the night away reminiscing my childhood in the outskirts of Lima. I can't believe that some of his members didn't survive the pandemic. This is tragic.

Emocionado de ver en este documental a la pastorita Huaracina...❤❤❤❤

Hi bandsplaining ....here from Perú Thanks for a great vídeo and sharing this music from Perú...fantastic bands in the 60s70s... Peace and love from PERU

I am half Peruvian and I feel so much more connected to Peruvians through this video.

Love seeing all those 60s Japanese guitars. They are the coolest.

This research is sooo good, as a Peruvian, I'm so grateful for this. One of the most know psychedelic chichas is Guajira Sicodelica - Los Destellos. People were trying to figure out how they made those effects since delay or flanger weren't invented yet. Turned out they used a 12 string guitar.

HI! First, thank you for all the job well done in this video. I am a Peruvian, from the highlands, born in the 60s' in a city very close where Los Shapis started. It is a warm feeling coming into my soul seeing this respectful way to study and show others our modern music, the one that I grown along. Music is part of everyone's life and society's history. Thank you!

Escuchar a Los Destellos es lo mejor que me paso en la vida.

Fuck, I can't imagine how wild a psychedelic cumbia concert would be

I was born in Lima into a migrant family and I am proud of having been risen with this music

Great vid, been getting into more South American 60s stuff since I saw a video focused on Los Saicos a few months ago that sparked my interest and greatly expanded the variety of South American music I listen to, this cumbia stuff is excellent. Two additional great cumbia tracks are Cumbia de sal by Cumbia En Moog and Ritmo de Tambo by La Sonora Dinamita, Lucho Argain for anyone searching for more.

Aún mucha gente se resiste a decir CHICHA a este género tan exitoso que lograron los Destellos... Enrique Delgado Montes.. el creador tocó en muchas agrupaciones de Huayno, Vals y era un gran Rockero.... La fusión de estas melodías Más la Cumbia nació la CHICHA... Gracias por estudiar nuestra cultura 👏👏🙏🙏💪💪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪

Gracias por popularizar la música de vanguardia peruana de los 60's

It’s hilarious that this video came out, I’ve been on a Peruvian cumbia bug lately 😂

Asi!! I’m American and worked in the Amazon oil fields from 81 through 86, spent two years in Iquitos and pucallpa. Los Continentales and El Quarteto Continental were thing. Chicha. I loved that they played El Aguajal in the video. From Poco a Poco to the Piura music scene- Grupo 5 and Corazon Serrano and dozens of others. I love it all though I’ve been told by Chilean friends it’s rubbish and you can hear it in all the kitchens of the better houses is Santiago, because that’s what the Peruvian maids want to hear.

Finally found out who's been making those Los Pakines threads on /mu/

Beautiful video. Thank you for introducing me Los Destellos 🎶

Columbian Cumbia was quite popular in London in the 80s. Its great we can now discover the Peruvian sound, even though we are late to the party.

As an journalist, editor and cumbia drummer…this is outstanding 👏👏👏👏👏

Que gran documental estoy muy sorprendido de la dedicación que se le ha dado, Perú país de múltiples culturas, gente de afuera la aprecia, gente del propio país las ignora, junto con el estado a nivel de todas las instituciones, Tenemos oro y no sabemos que hacer con el.

Amazing documentary! Some years ago I really got into Peruvian Cumbia and chicha and always wondered at some of the origins of this music having so many great songs and albums from that era, great work!

Los reales cumbieros y músicos Chicheros en un video de un gran analista del arte musical mua perfcto

Incredibly informative, as always! I would never have found so many interesting details about such obscure music genres. I guess the amount of research to make such an episode is astounding. Your channel is a truly gold mine for everyone who appreciates music in any of its manifestations, Jeremy.

Thank youuu for sharing this in this format. You explained it sooo well! I have Peruvian blood on my dad’s side, but he wasn’t into cumbia or chicha or anything like that. But then I went to Peru in 2017 and listened to "Cariñito" accidentally on a bus, and that something got in me! That was the beginning of my obsession with all of these genres 🥹🥹❤️❤️

I first heard pysch cumbia on a cassette comp many years ago. In the last year or so I have been really, really digging it. I will never not love cumbia! My favorites are Los Destellos, Chacalón and Los Ecos! Ranil is great too. There are some great Colombian cumbia acts as well, which I'm learning more about.

20:47 Lols! Great Episode! Thoroughly Enjoyed. Paz,

There is some serious gold in this video!

I would love it if you go over the list of genres, especially in Venezuela where we had Joropo merged with big band Jazz and orchestral music during the "Nueva Onda" movement led by Aldemaro Romero. Also, Gaita, which was merged with funk, disco, and eventually even fusion jazz by the group "Guaco", which is known as "La super banda de Venezuela" created a whole sound and genre on their own over the last 50+ years. As much as I love all these great stories, I would love to know more about the rest of these less known artists, genres, and movements from Latin America, and it's even more interesting watching it from an outside perspective.

Thank you for making this video. Years ago, I would visit the record store Amoeba Music. I would pick out a record I liked and a random record, one of those was The Roots of Chicha. It completely blew my mind. The more I heard it, the more I loved it. Soon I recommended it to all my music enthusiast friends and they also adopted it into their personal preference. This video taught me a lot about the people, the genre and I can even see reflections about myself and who I am. Chicha is such an underrated genre and these musicians named in the video are all geniuses. They changed the world and created many influences that we listen to in today’s modern music, and it’s beautiful to see that you took the time to pay respects to them by teaching us more about them. Keep up the good work, subscribing immediately.

I’m Ecuadorian, Growing up I’ve heard so many of the songs you talked about but I never knew about how dee the lore was for that genre. I moved to The US when I was a kid and got really into rock from the 60’s and 80’s. Knowing that in south America there was a psychedelic Cumbia scene is mind blowing!! Thank you so much for this video!!

You should add Tropicalia to Brazil list! Like Peruvian Cumbia it's our Psychedelic Rock inspired music.

COngratualetions for the excelent documentary for the english speaking audance, I am impressed that this topic came to this channel's radar since they are not a Peruvian or latin amercan channel. Great Job!

VIVA EL PERÚ CARAJO!!

No way, I’ve been loving Cumbias Chichadelicas for the last few months now!!’

I stumbled into this video by accident, but since I lived 40 years in South and Central America I thought I'd at least give a listen and enjoy the music I learned to appreciate over the years. Frankly, I was surprised -- very pleasantly so! -- at the depth of your research and the clarity of your narrative. You reminded me of some of the sights and sounds I experienced acquiring a new language and becoming multi-cultural. Thank you for your hard work producing these 21 minutes...I know the results took you many, many hours to create!

ah, Chicha! it's so much fun! sometimes i like to call it switched-on Morricone. i wonder if they used electric guitars instead of the usual brass sections out of necessity: at least in Chile, bands like Viking 5 did that, their sound came out from emulating brass on guitars. BTW, where i come from, "techno-cumbia" is called Saund (or Sound). great video as usual, nice to see you went hunting for bits and bobs from Peruvian media!

one of my favorite genres ever, almost impossible to dislike. i just found out there is one band that plays this music in my city! it’s so much fun to dance to at a club

Bro casually dropped one of the best videos i ever saw

I appreciate the Latin American music map at the end of the video (20:48). I wasn't familiar with the music genres of Ecuador prior to this video. When I searched "Pasillos Ecuatorianos" here on KZfaq, a couple Julio Jaramillo playlists appeared in the suggestions. My grandmother loved his music. She passed away a few years ago, so I've associated that sound with her memory. Now that I know the genre, I can check out more songs and artists, as well as the other genres of Ecuador!

Para hablar hay que saber mucho de la historia de la cumbia peruana desde sus inicios, y esto se remonta desde la década de los año sesenta.. La cumbia peruana nace de los barrios dé Lima, grupos como Compay Quinto, Los beta 5, Los Girasoles, Los Destellos, fueron innovadores de la cadencia y punteó de la guitarra electrica, aplicando de una y otra manera el Rock Sicodelico, cómo influencia. Por la década de los setenta siguen otros grupos como Los Ecos, El Grupo Celeste, los Mirlos, y muchos grupos qué hicieron de la cumbia evolucionarlo, incluyendo la chicha, combinación de la música andina y la cumbia, Chicha, es un término más despectivo, la cumbia peruana tiene de todas maneras sus influencias.. Hoy tenemos muchos grupos en el Norte Peruano. Agua Marina, Armonía 10, Grupo 5, y Corazón Serrano, con su cumbia San Juanera, y claro mucho otro grupos, que sean ganado los elogios y el reconocimiento de mucha gente siguen la cumbia peruana.

Bandpslaining is our generations Lomax. Bringing a whole new world of music to audiences that may have never otherwise ventured into the more obscure corners of music. I fucking love this channel so much.

Been living in Michigan all my life and been a huge fan of Chicha and Cumbia for the last ten years.

Peru’s cumbia now is sort a mix of techno and the psychedelic/jungle cumbia. They use smooth guitar mixed with synthetic sounds and added brass. It sounds amazing, and its one of my favorite cumbias sub genres.

Thanks for the history lesson and all the old videos and photos. I am From America but live in Cambodia and here was the same kind of thing in the 60s .it must have been world wide at that time.

I LOVE THESE GENRES! Thanks!!

Thanks a lot for.the video. I think u need part 2. Los destellos - Onsta la yerbita it's the greatest psychedelic cumbia peruvian song. Also some on "Traffic Sound - Meshkalina " Greetings. I hope to see part 2 🥺☺️☺️

Thank you 🙏🏻 for this excellent video. I am so happy people value our Cumbia from Peru.. I’m glad to see that young people from other countries value and love our music. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇵🇪

Thank god this got uploaded again , couldn’t finish last time

A gringo Speaking of the best music that has come out of my Peru but if you want here I leave a list with great jewels that deserve to be heard in an infinite loop -Los destellos - onyta la yerbita -los orientales de paramonga - lobos al escape -los invasores de progreso - cumbia shuratero -los mirlos - la danza de los mirlos -los wemblers - la danza del petrolero -los ilusionistas - colegiala -el cuarteto continental - golpe con golpe -cuarteto universal - chefercito mañoso -los shapis - chófer carretero -chacalon y la nueva crema - por ella la botella -agua marina - sirena del amor -grupo 5- la tormenta -armonia 10- Cantinero de Piura greetings from Lima and I hope you enjoy good Peruvian music

Thank you thank you thank you! Your video encapsulates everything I've been listening to the las t5 years and I thought I was the only one! Born in Peru and now in the US 50 yrs you've completed me.

Thank you for making this video❤ Peru has a los of genres but my favorite it’s this psychodelic cumbia and huayno (thanks to my granpa an immigrant from the Andes) VIVA EL PERU CARAJO 🎉

Los Saicos in Peri where the first punk band. Or proto punk. So at the time Peru was ahead and very creative/ So it make sense that you find bands that later admired or recognized the art of the Ramones…. Como dominicano es muy interesante la música en Suramérica.

Great job!!! Peruvian music is great

La mejor música del planeta

Cumbia never dies! Sooo many cool different styles of cumbia throughout the ages.

As a Cuban that had never heard this music before, thanks for sharing it.

The truth is that the military government never prohibited electric guitars or rock. On the contrary, the nationalist laws favored the recording of Peruvian groups instead of foreign ones. The dictatorship was a very complex process and its details are still being studied today. Thanks for the video.

one of the better sides of YT, learning some stuff!

Some of my favorite bands are mentioned here, being born and growing up in Peru, psychedelic cumbia is lost to even us now, many of my friends and family members have never heard of these masterpieces, which is heartbreaking to me, but the other day a friend of mine told me she saw a video about that music I like so much, and god damn, this is good. thank you so much, im sending this to everyone
