The Roots of Chicha: Psychedelic Cumbias From Peru
by Various Artists
Introduced international audiences to the deeply fascinating, heavily fuzzed-out subgenre of Chicha music that thrived in Peru during the 1960s and 70s. The compilation highlights bands that aggressively adopted the surf-rock and psychedelic electric guitars of North America, seamlessly layering them over traditional Amazonian cumbia rhythms. It remains one of the most culturally significant and critically lauded Latin American archival releases of the 2000s.
