Product Description
In the early 70 s a new sound grew out of the booming cities of the Peruvian Amazon. Chicha, as it came to be known, modeled itself on Colombian Cumbia music but replaced the accordion with surf guitars, and incorporated the psychedelic sounds of Farfisa organs and Moog synthesizers as well as Cuban Guajira,and the distinctive pentatonic scales of Andean melodies. Unlike other modern hybrids, such as Ska or Brazillian Tropicalia, the music never crossed international borders. This is the first ever Chicha compilation to be released outside of Peru.

I received a CD case that had been shrink-wrapped in plastic, but no CD. Very annoying.
Electric and fun. February 13, 2008
Stacey Dee Maurer (SF, CA United States)
This mixture of old and new themes in an upbeat salsa Peruvian style all its own.
hot latin sounds! January 18, 2008
Crescent Moon (Charleston, SC United States)
This is a great set of songs perfect for listening to while cooking in the kitchen: spatula in one hand, margarita in the other and the urge to dance while you sautee.
