Barbès Records released <i>¡Sonido Amazonico!</i> - Chicha Libre’s debut album - ten years ago. The label had already made a splash the year before with the release of <i>The Roots of Chicha</i> - the very first time Peruvian psychedelic cumbia was anthologized for a foreign audience. The compilation quickly became a cult album and contributed to popularize a style of music that until then had been scorned by the Peruvian middle class. While loosely inspired by Colombian cumbia, Chicha incorporated Andean melodies, some Cuban son, and the sounds of surf guitars, Farfisa organs and Moog synthesizers: an oddly post-modern combination of western psychedelia, Latin rhythms, regional music and vintage rock.
