Crate 08 - Meskalima (Peruvian Grooves)

The crate in October is filled to burst with a selection of the rarest, most funky and psychedelic records from Peru! During the late 60's and early 70's the musical scene in the melting pot Lima was creative and diverse. Influenced by popular music from the United States, local groups started to reinterpret these styles and mix them with traditional elements. Despite the military dictatorship led by Juan Velasco Alvarado, who tried to keep Rock music under control, the underground scene flourished and recorded a variety of great tunes: From Psych or Fusion, to Cumbia and Funk. Arriba!
