The tracks featured in CHICHA POR FAVOR Vol. 1 offer a uniquely authentic perspective on Peruvian cumbia’s intricate layers, capturing the influence of coastal rhythms, Andean folklore, and Amazonian beats, fused with elements of rock and psychedelia.
From the driving electric guitars of *Grupo Atlantic*’s “Danza Atlantic” to the lively, Amazonian- infused grooves of *Los Invasores* and *Los Tigres*. The album reflects a diversity of styles that arose during a transformative era in Peru’s music scene.
Notably, the release revives the distinctive sound of *El Volcan* a Cusco-based label that became a beacon for cumbia in the Andes and beyond.
