Sonido Amazonico

Description

Prepare yourself to be amazed by these two stunning Peruvian cumbias by two central figures of the Amazonian music scene: Ranil y su Conjunto Tropical and Los Wembler's de Iquitos. Their recordings of the classic 'Sonido Amazonico' are packed with psychedelic guitars and hard-hitting percussions. First time 45 reissue. Raul Llerena, aka Ranil, was one of the central figures of the Amazonian music scene. Based in Iquitos, he founded his own record label -Producciones Llerena- and shaped what is now known as the psychedelic sound of Amazonian cumbia. The few LPs and 45s released on his label are legendarily hard to find, let alone the condition... Some of them were issued under the name Ranil y su Conjunto Tropical. They recorded this hypnotic and percussive version of 'Sonido amazonico' that was released as an LP-only track. We're now pleased to release it for the first time as a 45, to the delight of DJs and 7"s collectors. On the flipside we find Los Wembler's de Iquitos, responsible for some of the most popular songs of the psychedelic cumbia genre, including the outstanding 'Sonido Amazonico'. Prepare yourself to be amazed by these two stunning Peruvian cumbias packed with psychedelic guitars and hard-hitting percussions. First time 45 reissue.
