The music proved popular around the world, being championed by people such as Elijah Wood, Matt Groening, Alex Kapranos and director Almadovar. The Brooklyn band Chicha Libre started out as a tribute to Peruvian pioneers but quickly evolved into an original project which MTV has called “one of the world's preeminent Tropical Psychedelic band”. Indeed, while they remain true to their Chicha roots, Chicha Libre's quickly took a more psychedelic turn drawing from its members' alternative background. Made up of Mexican, Venezuelan, French and American the band used surf guitar, organ sounds and Latin percussion to play a mixture of borrowed and homegrown sounds – but its music remains a freeform reinvention, not an exercise in nostalgic duplication. The re-release coincides with the release of a new EP “Tequila y Aguardiente”, in collaboration with Son Rompe Pera and La Sonora Mazuren.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barbes Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50445342146891,"sku":"2220724","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50445341589835,"sku":"313366","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/0d0d1c5a-e159-3585-5f98-f35feb77477e_f4845a7f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727036721"},{"product_id":"the-roots-of-chicha-psycedelic-cumbias-from-peru-2023-edition","title":"The Roots Of Chicha: Psycedelic Cumbias From Peru (2023 Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Roots of Chicha\u003c\/i\u003e, compiled by Barbès Records, was originally released in 2007 and became the first recording to popularize psychedelic cumbia around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the late 60's through the 80's, Peruvians invented a new popular musical hybrid inspired by music from the Americas. In 1968, Enrique Delgado released his first record on Odeon with his new group, Los Destellos, single-handedly creating Peruvian cumbia. He codified the genre early on by using the electric guitar as the primary melodic instrument, and mixing cumbia rhythms with folkloric huaynos, criollo voicings, Cuban guarachas and guajiras, rock, boogaloo, surf, psychedelia, oriental music, classical music, and bits and pieces from Brazil, France, Chile... All Peruvian cumbia bands for the next thirty years would end up drawing from the exact same sources (Grupo Celeste, Los Mirlos, Juaneco Y Su Combo, Manzanita Y Su Conjunto...). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new wave of Peruvian cumbia came to be known as chicha. Chicha is originally the name of an alcoholic drink, made of fermented maize, which the Incas were especially fond of. In the past thirty years, however, the word has taken on a pejorative connotation. Peruvian cumbia started being called chicha in the late 70s, around the same time that the music came to be viewed as the expression of the slums – the pueblos jovenes. Little by little, the word became an adjective, and people now talk of chicha culture, chicha press, chicha architecture, even of a chicha president, and none if it – you guessed right – is meant as a compliment. Chicha suggests corruption, shady deals, and cholos – a derogatory term for a person of Andean heritage that, of late, is being reclaimed and worn as a badge of honor by the very cholos it was supposed to demean in the first place. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA1.
