SONIDO VERDE DE MOYOBAMBA

Limited LP : Sun Yellow Vinyl 

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 fve albums recorded for Discos Universal between 1981 and 1987.


Pressed on Sun Yellow coloured 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
