In its isolated towns, far removed from the trends of the capital, a unique musical style began to develop, inspired by the sounds of the surrounding forests, the flow of the mighty Amazon and Ucayali rivers, and the cumbia rhythms that drifted in from distant stations via transistor radios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the arrival of electricity, a new generation of young musicians began to plug in their electric guitars and replace accordions with synthesizers: Amazonian cumbia was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriven by rapid-fire timbales, propelled by sharp, edgy guitar lines, and bathed in shimmering organ flourishes, Amazonian cumbia was like a hyperactive, distant cousin of surf rock, mixed with an all-night party in the heart of the jungle. While many of the genre's best tracks were instrumental and others simply celebrated jungle life, the goal of every song was to keep the party going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLima's radio stations remained oblivious to the new electric sounds emanating from the jungle, but a handful of pioneering record producers ventured across the mountain passes to cities like Tarapoto, Moyobamba, Pucallpa and even Iquitos — a city that can only be reached by boat or plane — and convinced dozens of bands to travel to the capital's recording studios and record their best songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough many of them became local hits, few were heard outside the Amazon region… until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing eighteen tracks from some of the biggest names in Amazonian cumbia, Perú Selvático is both the unlikely soundtrack to a beach party on the banks of the Amazon and a psychedelic safari through the jungle mysteries of the Peruvian rainforest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e -Analog Africa-\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist.
