Chulita LaPhDj - Peruvian Cumbia Flavor

“So, I do this PhD thing that gets me the chance to travel, read and do research on how cumbia reshapes the connections between provinces, regions ad capital cities in Colombia, Peru and Argentina. I was lucky enough to be wandering the streets of Lima this summer, listening how Peruvians have transformed cumbia. I found the 45’s that compound this mix in second hand record stores in Downtown Lima. Alfredo Villar, one cumbia’s most active researchers and advocates guided me to the stores, and navigated with me through Peru’s incredibly prolific record market between 1960 and 1990. I went back several times and spent afternoons sitting in a small bench paying close attention to the guaracha beats in the songs, the acid electric guitar riffs, and the Andean sound pouring out of this vibrant mixture of rhythms and traditions. This mix is an homage to Ate, to Lima and its Pisco sour nights. It’s also an homage to Peruvian people and their vibrant guitars and their exquisitely rural, avant-garde songs. ”
