Superb Blood & Fire selection of scattered late-seventies outings, all in discomixes. Treasures include the opener, Reggae Rhythm, with its blaring horns, originally out on Trio International; the 12” mix of Pure Ranking by Jammy, at Tubby’s; and the deadly triumvirate of Everton Da Silva productions — Youths Of Today, Don’t Let Problems Get You Down and Mr. Bassie.
The dubs of the original Scientist LP, plus the corresponding vocal sides by Johnny Osbourne, Hugh Mundell and Wayne Jarrett.
Wild, psychedelic, salsa-spiced, Peruvian cumbia.
In the late 1960s, the coastal city of Paramonga, just a three-hour drive north of Lima, gave rise to a vibrant music scene shaped by surf, rockabilly, and tropical sounds. Blending cumbia with guaracha, salsa, and guaguancó, and emerging styles like chicha —with their psychedelic guitars, Fender amplifiers, hot percussion, and wah-wah pedals — Los Orientales would shape the musical identity of the region.
Drawing from the LPs Con Sabor Tropical in 1972 and Tremendo Ritmo the following year, plus numerous 45s, this is a comprehensive review of the sound and spirit of Los Orientales de Paramonga at their peak.
