Formed in 1980 by guitar prodigy Leonardo Vela Rodriguez, Sonido Verde
de Moyobamba created some of the hardest, craziest Cumbia to emerge from
the Peruvian jungle. With distorted, surf-addled guitar facing off
against lysergic organ and hyperactive tropical rhythms, Sonido Verde
conjured the organic sound of the dense forests surrounding their
hometown while riding their dance-party grooves to dizzying psychedelic
peaks.
Compiled by Analog Africa, Sonido Verde de Moyobamba presents eight
ultra-rare tracks of guitar and organ madness drawn from the band's five
albums recorded for Discos Universal between 1981 and 1987. Pressed on
Sun Yellow colored vinyl, housed in a screen-printed jacket and strictly
limited to 2000 copies, Sonido Verde is a definitive trip into the
heart of the jungle.
