The first known recordings of the cumbia selvatica (“jungle cumbia”) style, this collection includes Juaneco y Su Combo’s 1972 debut album and some early singles. Driven by the amazing electric guitar of Noe Fachin Mori and the Farfisa of Juan “Juaneco” Wong Popolizio, this brand of psychedelic rock is rounded out by Afro-Peruvian cumbia rhythms played on several percussion instruments, as well as bass and second guitar. The band originally became popular in Peru's La Selva region (the Amazon rainforest area on the eastern side of the Andes) and then took the entire country by storm in the early ‘70s. The ringing guitar of Mori (who also wrote many of the songs) is all over this disc, but he's at his best on “El Forastero” and “Guajira Loretana.” Five of the nine band members died in a 1977 plane crash. While the surviving members and fellow bands carried on the jungle cumbia cause, none made tracks quite as wild or raw as those on this collection—making this a must for fans of vintage psychedelic rock from around the globe.
