Afro-Peruvian Classics: The Soul Of Black Peru (1970s & 80s)


I don't normally post compilations, but this short record of Afro-Peruvian folk and pop is just awesome and worth posting. I'm pretty much completely ignorant of Peruvian music in general besides Rossy War, so I don't know if I can say anything particularly enlightening about the artists or culture at work, but the bright, lighthearted rhythms and sing-alongs certainly get my gears going in the best of ways. There's also a super-silly "Lando" cover by David Byrne, of all people. Enjoy!
