Out now // Peru Bravo: Funk, Soul & Psych from Peru’s Radical Decade (Tiger’s Milk Records)

Peru / London

A shout for this great compilation, released this week, from the ever-Latin Tiger’s Milk Records. Available on double gatefold vinyl from the likes of Piccadilly Records, Peru Bravo documents a spasm of  late sixties and early seventies alternative bands with a funk and psych thirst for living. It was only a blink on the Lima music scene,  emerging during the reign of General Juan Velasco Alvarado from 1968 – 1974.

Listen to and buy the full album on Bandcamp (you can have a little stream below).

This is a fantastic companion to the label’s previous release and carries forward the same themes. That, Peru Maravilloso, is available here.

Peru Bravo was compiled by top chef, author and restaurateur Martin Morales (from London restaurant Ceviche and author of the bestseller of the same name), Duncan Ballantyne (ex-Soundway) & Andrés Tapia del Rio (Repsychled Records).
