All four already had embarked on diverse musical ventures when they formed the band. Mujica had played as a jazz drummer and also with the psychedelic rock group \u003cstrong\u003eLos Mad’s\u003c\/strong\u003e and then as an experimental music percussionist. Jean Pierre had been a multi-instrumentalist in \u003cstrong\u003eTraffic Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e and saxophonist in several jazz ensembles. “Chocolate” had been part of the Afro-Peruvian ensemble \u003cstrong\u003ePerú Negro\u003c\/strong\u003e and was one of \u003cstrong\u003eChabuca Granda\u003c\/strong\u003e’s percussionists of choice. His meeting with \u003cstrong\u003eManongo Mujica\u003c\/strong\u003e in 1981 was the beginning of series of collaborations, blending African influences and avant-garde jazz percussion. Meanwhile, in Chile, \u003cstrong\u003eEnrique Luna\u003c\/strong\u003e had been a member of several fusion ensembles and, together with Manongo, set up the improvisation band \u003cstrong\u003eSolos\u003c\/strong\u003e at the end of the 70s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey were part of the new musical scene in Lima, strongly influenced by the cultural climate of the 70s, by \u003cstrong\u003eChabuca Granda\u003c\/strong\u003e and his innovations in criollismo, as well as by neofolk and nueva canción, all under the nationalist politics of the government of General Juan Velasco Alvarado. The 80s ushered in a period of democratic transition and during the early years of the decade a new generation of fusion artists thrived. \u003cstrong\u003ePerujazz\u003c\/strong\u003e managed to hold its ground and soon led the way in the avant-garde jazz scene. Inspired by jazz fusion from the 70s, they mixed cajón drums and Afro-Peruvian, Andean and jungle sounds with jazz, rock and funk in a powerful blend full of groove and psychedelia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring an early tour in Europe, they recorded in Italy an LP entitled “\u003cstrong\u003eVerde Machu Picchu\u003c\/strong\u003e”, it was released in 1987 though it wasn’t widely distributed. In those years, \u003cstrong\u003ePerujazz\u003c\/strong\u003e would journey far and wide, becoming one of the most original Peruvian ensembles and also one of the most international in scope. Since then their line-up has gone through multiple changes and today the band members are \u003cstrong\u003eManongo Mujica\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJean Pierre Magnet\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eAndrés Prado\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePudy Ballumbrosio\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eJulio Zavala\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Music, sweat, and elation flowed as the band gave their all, transmitting their energy with every note. Those of us who can hear hints of huayno, tondero, or festejo in their playing are moved by these echoes. We recognize the way \u003cstrong\u003ePerujazz\u003c\/strong\u003e launches these sounds forward - projecting them, reshaping them, not to dilute their essence, but perhaps to stir it gently, coaxing out their most hidden aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VAMPISOUL","offers":[{"title":"2LP Vinyl","offer_id":57813928509785,"sku":"SDZ-44561","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/cd91c5b30100d17cf487f845001b93c4.jpg?v=1776271649","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/perujazz-en-vivo-2023-gira-europea","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
