The Vampisoul label presents the second volume of their Cumbia Beat series, once again including tracks by the most important bands of the genre !

The "resurrection" of Peruvian tropical music, of psychedelic cumbia or, as others like to call it, "chicha," is perhaps one of the most surprising musical phenomena in recent years. The number of reissues, new releases and bands that have begun to play chichi or covers of tropical Peruvian classics in Argentina, England, Russia and the United States has multiplied. This cocktail of electric guitars, Caribbean percussion, Andean pentatonics and psychedelic soloing, synths, Moogs, güiros, wah-wahs, timbales and fuzztones was simply too striking to go unnoticed. Elements of rock, folklore, música criolla, Andean music, Amazonian music, Colombian cumbia, salsa and even psychedelia intermingle in this "cannibal" genre capable of devouring and assimilating every possible influence. Both Enrique Delgado and Manzanita, the two great founding guitarists of the genre, made music that absorbed all possible manner of styles. This release features not only tunes from Delgado with his group Los Destellos and from Manzanita, but also from their side projects: Delgado's Los Casmeños and Manzanita's El Monje Loco. Los Girasoles, Los Yungas, Los Beta 5 and Los Ecos continued those sonic explorations. In the case of Los Girasoles, their great singer "El Chévere" Félix Martínez shows his tropical skills on "La Bocina." Although this compilation consists mostly of instrumentals, a classic of Peruvian tropical music, "Colegiala" by Los Ilusionistas, is included with vocals from Carlos Ramírez "Centeno."
