LOS WEMBLER'S DE IQUITOS - Selva - LP - 180g Vinyl [NOV 7]

LP - Limited Edition Vinyl. Most of these tracks are reissued here for the first time after remaining unavailable for decades. Includes an insert with liner notes and photos.

This anthology of Los Wembler's allows us to appreciate the legacy of the iconic group from Iquitos, the most important city in the Peruvian Amazon which is only accessible by air or river, and their key role in the creation and revival of Amazonian cumbia. Los Wembler's emerged as a family band in the late 1960s in the Belén district of Iquitos and are regarded as pioneers of electric guitar-driven Amazonian cumbia from Perú.

The selection of songs that make up this compilation dates from the period between 1972 and 1980, at the peak of the band’s career. Songs such as ‘Sonido amazónico’ or ‘La danza del petrolero’ have become highly influential classics of the genre. Most of these tracks are reissued here for the first time after remaining unavailable for decades. 

“Selva” includes an insert with liner notes and photos.
