[World/International] from Vampi Soul
Cumbia Beat: Tropical Sounds from Peru 1966-1983
ANTH: Peru
review by jaypaul
Perhaps better known in Peru as “chicha”, this music mixes Colombian cumbia with Amazonian & Andean folk, salsa, psychedelic rock (fuzz, synth), and whatever else appeals in this “musical Creole” from the west central region of South America. Many top artists are represented (CD includes nice booklet with details). Additional info here on the Vampi Soul website.
