The artwork for Perú Selvático.Amid the heat and humidity of the Peruvian jungle a group of bands developed their own psychedelic take on the folk tradition, gleaned from patchy radio broadcasts of popular cumbia music and black market vinyl imports, which featured fast-paced percussion, electric guitars and heady reverb. Across the 18 tracks of Perú Selvático, this frenetic dance music unfurls, bringing new life to a largely forgotten sound.
Descarga Royal, by the group Los Royals de Pucallpa, provides an early 70s example of a bridge between cumbia and Amazonica. Featuring typical cumbia rhythms only marginally sped up, the seeds of the Amazonian style are present in the hum of distortion accompanying the electric guitar, providing a hint of a new, technicolour sound.
That pace and infectious, funky swing are woven through standouts like Los Rangers de Tingo Maria’s wobbling La Trochita, the finger-picking intricacies and thrumming shakers of La Bola Buche, by Los Invasores de Progreso, and the keening guitar lines of Ranil y Su Conjunto Tropical. Since cumbia Amazonica was developed in the confines of small towns, its sound is remarkably consistent, which can make listening to the entirety of Perú Selvático somewhat repetitive. But in the echoes of its rhythms and its distinct sense of groove, unearthed once more, the album never fails to inspire movement.release their second album, Grande Massa D’Agua , combining jazz percussion with wavering synths to evoke the elemental sounds of the rainforest.
