Los Mirlos Made Coachella History | Peruvian Chicha Vinyl Collection

Los Mirlos made history as the first Peruvian band to play Coachella, so I wanted to talk about the band, my Los Mirlos records, and the Peruvian chicha rabbit hole. My wife is Peruvian, and we’ve spent a lot of time in Peru looking for records. Los Mirlos were one of the bands she grew up with, and they became one of my entry points into Peruvian chicha, Peruvian cumbia, and Amazonian psychedelic guitar music. Los Mirlos are from Moyobamba, in the Peruvian Amazon, and helped define the chicha sound: cumbia rhythms, electric guitar, surf and psychedelic influence, and that unmistakable Amazonian feel. In this video I show my Los Mirlos records, talk about their Coachella appearance, get into a little bit of chicha history, and show some Peruvian records and compilations worth checking out.
