On the show this time, it's El Sonido Amazonico with Peruvian psych-cumbia legends - Los Mirlos. Since 1973, Los Mirlos (that’s The Blackbirds in English) have been playing magnificent, energetic dance music - Peruvian music, the sound of the Amazon. It’s impossible to overstate the importance of this band - they originate a sound. They are pioneers of psychedelic cumbia and all cumbia music has changed - or more properly all music has changed because of them. The lineup has also changed, but the group is still going. Like a family, they straddle generations. There are more than 30 albums available on vinyl through Infopesa Records, and on streaming services. Recorded 03/17/2023.
