Peru Day Eve | Los Cóndores Del Cusco & Los Destellos | Rare Peruvian Vinyl Stream

Welcome in to today's stream! Tonight we are gearing up for Peru Day Eve with an incredible double feature of rare Peruvian wax, spanning obscure mountain garage-psych all the way to absolute cumbia royalty. First up, we are diving into an obscure discovery from high up in the Andes: Vacilando by Grupo Los Cóndores del Cusco. Before we get started, I want to give a little context because this record might surprise some of you. When most people think of Peruvian music, they think of traditional Andean music, pan flutes, or maybe later chicha bands. But by the late '60s and early '70s, rock music had spread all over the world. Bands in Peru were hearing The Beatles, Cream, Hendrix, Santana, and garage bands just like musicians everywhere else. What's fascinating is that every country put its own spin on it. Some bands copied British or American rock almost note for note, while others mixed those influences with local rhythms and melodies. That's where records like this become so interesting. Grupo Los Cóndores del Cusco were based in Cusco, high in the Andes, hundreds of miles from Lima's rock scene. Most of this LP leans toward cumbia and regional music, but tucked away on Side Two is a song called "Hesitating", an English-language garage psych track that sounds completely out of left field. It's the kind of discovery that makes digging through obscure records so much fun. You never know when you're going to find a hidden gem hiding on a record almost nobody outside Peru has ever heard. Then, we are keeping the party going with absolute royalty of South American music! Next on the turntable is Clase Aparte (1971 Odeon Del Peru) by the architects of Peruvian cumbia themselves, Los Destellos. Led by genius composer and guitarist Enrique Delgado, Los Destellos revolutionized the genre by strapping Fender Stratocasters and reverb tanks onto Colombian cumbia, Cuban guaracha, and traditional Andean rhythms. From fuzzed-out descargas like "La Fatídica" to driving instrumental tracks like "El Eléctrico" and the spacey "El Marcianito", this LP showcases why Enrique Delgado is revered as the undisputed godfather of cumbia peruana. Grab a fresh drink, settle in, and let's explore these rare pieces of Peruvian music history! 00:00 Intro 03:04 needle drops Grupo Los Condores Del Cusco 43:39 needle drops Los Destellos 1:23:39 Close 🎧 Full Vinyl Rips Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLj0yF7-9YQ9pEOi1yCUyAZikNmWVdz8Hn 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vinyl_piper/ I sell my doubles and extras here: https://vinylpipershop.com/ GRUPO LOS CÓNDORES DEL CUSCO – VACILANDO (1970s LP) "Hea Hea Cusqueñita" "Soy Un Solitario" "Acariciando" "Me Mata El Dolor" "Siete Y Media" "Amor Sin Rumbo" "Mis Manos En Tu Cintura" "Mi Rosa Blanca" "La Piedrita" "Roxana" "Cusco Imperial" "Hesitating" LOS DESTELLOS – CLASE APARTE (1971 LP) "Para Elena" "El Pacífico" "La Cocaleca" "Chiquilla Bonita" "La Fatídica" "Los Dulces" "El Eléctrico" "La Ranita" "La Cumbia Del Sol" "Tu Donde Estás?"
