Über Chicha
Peru's psychedelic cumbia, born in the 1960s when coastal and Amazonian bands fused Colombian cumbia with surf guitar, Andean melody, and Cuban son. The soundtrack of Andean migration to the cities, it became a working-class phenomenon and, decades later, a global crate-digging obsession.
