Various Artists - Gozalo! - Bugalu Tropical Vol. 1 - Rock - Vinyl

A collection of Peru's best artists during the '60s and '70s. Peru. Sure not a heavy weight champion of well known music, at least in Europe or North America (like Brazil or Cuba), but with so many exciting bands and artists you would hardly believe it! Names like Charlie Palomares, Mario Allison, Lucho Macedo, Al Valdez, Nico Estrada, Los Hiton's and many more, who were experimenting with 'foreign' sounds and rhythms such as jazz, pop, boogaloo and soul, and giving them their very own and unique Peruvian flavor. Complete with very detailed and explanatory liner notes (welcome to Vampisoul University!) and cover by Pablo Iglesias. Without leaving their Latin influence, these youths assimilated Soul and Rhythm & Blues. They discovered the Supremes, Joe Tex, the Temptations, James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Marvin Gaye and other Motown stars. A continuous crossing of cultures began creating an addictive mix of striking, revolutionary sounds.
