Los Destellos
Los Destellos (Spanish for "the Flashes") were a Peruvian cumbia band formed in Lima, Peru in 1966 by Enrique Delgado Montes. History In their early releases, Los Destellos popularized the sharp sound of the electric guitar and bass in the context of a cumbia ensemble. By replacing the horns and accordion with the strings, they played a key role in developing the genre that later became known as Peruvian cumbia, influencing bands such as Los Mirlos, Los Ecos, and Los Diablos Rojos. The band's style bears influence from psychedelic and surf rock as well as cumbia and local Peruvian genres. In 1970, the band released their best-selling single, ":es:Elsa (canción), Elsa", which sold over a million copies.

Peruvian Cumbia
Peruvian cumbia is a subgenre of chicha (Andean tropical music) that became popular in the coastal cities of Peru, mainly in Lima in the 1960s through the fusion of local versions of the original Colombian genre, traditional highland huayno, and rock music, particularly surf rock and psychedelic rock. The term chicha is more frequently used for the pre-1990s variations of the subgenre. Unlike other styles of cumbia, the chicha subgenre's harmonics are based on the pentatonic scale typical of Andean music. It is played with keyboards or synthesizers and up to three electric guitars that can play simultaneous melodies, an element derived from the harp and guitar lines of Andean huayno. The rhythmic electric guitar in chicha is played with upstrokes, following patterns derived from Peruvian coastal Peruvian waltz, creole waltz. Chicha songs contain electric guitar solos, following the rock music tradition. Origins and development Chicha started out in the 1960s in the oil-boom cit ...

Some of the earlier 1960s psychedelic rock musicians were based in contemporary folk music, folk, jazz, and the blues, while others showcased an expl ...
