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.
