Interview: Duncan Ballantyne, the englishman behind "Perú Maravilloso"
- Is the idea of the compilation 'Peru Maravilloso' born from the experience with the Peruvian restaurant 'Ceviche', founded by Martín Morales in London?
Basically Martin comes from running record labels like I do. Whilst i worked for indies like Soundway and Far Out, Martin was instrumental in setting up iTunes in Europe and worked with Miley Cyrus when she was with Disney as part of Hannah Montana. In 2011 he decided to leave the high profile media world to start a mission impossible : to bring Peruvian cuisines and culture to the UK and beyond. He contacted me and we started talking about setting up a record label (as part of his Ceviche restaurant) releasing strictly Peruvian music. We released a 7" with Juaneco y su Combo and Paco Zambrano and then Peru Maravilloso started taking shape: our debut compilation looking at vintage music from Peru in the 69s and 70s.
- Which has been the most important concept to select the songs for the album? The diversity included is pretty clear, music from the 60s - 70s decades.
The imperative was not to pigeonhole the record with 'cumbia' or 'chicha' or ' psychedelic rock'. We wanted to make an album that is accessible to both music heads and people who had never heard Peruvian music before (apart from panpipes and Susana Baca). We love music of all varieties so we wanted to create an album that exemplifies our passion. The only 'must' was that it had to be Peruvian and made between these 2 decades.
Yes, we wanted to uncover tracks that have been lying dormant and forgotten about, raise the profile of artists who have never had proper recognition. However, that was the concept of this particular album both the concept of Tiger's Milk Records.
- Are the migrant population of Peruvian origin in the UK/Europe an important consuming audience of this compilation and future releases?
Definitely, and the general Latin diaspora. But equally this is a democratic record and it is not aimed at any particular person or taste.
- How is the reception of 'Peru Maravilloso' being among the European audience?
Amazing response: lots of plays on BBC radio. The first time ever that Peruvian music has been recognised internationally in such a mainstream media.
- In recent years there have been several American and European labels compiling Peruvian cumbia artists of the 70s such as Barbés Records, Vampisoul and Secret Stash, or simply 'Colombian Cumbia' by Soundway. How does Tiger's Milk look like in that context?
Tiger's Milk does not aim to replicate any other label's concept. We are truly passionate about Peru and its culture. We aim, as Tiger´s Milk to not just release music but offer a platform for other arts like gastronomy, theatre, literature and other cultural endeavours.
- Which was the original source of the songs collected? Vinyl, CDs or master tapes?
A mix of vinyl and master tapes from labels in Peru.
- Has it been difficult to integrate the different qualities of the sound on a single compilation?
Yes definitely, some of the vinyl is very rare and copies we had had to go through a rigorous mastering and reconditioning process.
- Have you got any projects after 'Peru Maravilloso'?
Tiger's Milk Records will release compilations of new and old music, explore and promote current trends in Peruvian music, work with artists, develop artists and we aim to become one of the most respected and authentic Peruvian cultural outlets outside of Peru.
Duncan Ballantyne, Tiger's Milk Records.

Perú Maravilloso Lp, Tiger´s Milk TGM003. 2013.
I think it is not necessary to remind our regular readers the purpose behind Sotano Beat's fanzine and blog: Returning to the collective memory, the work of Peruvian musicians from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Artists who undeservedly had a brief success at the time and then disappeared forever. But now, more than ten years after the foundation of our fanzine, it is also necessary to highlight the work of the labels that in recent years have released the work of these musicians, putting them again in the musical map for the current generation.
And what is better than international labels in Peruvian hands doing it? I mean the newest Tiger's Milk. I don't need to take too much time on the presentation of this new record label founded by Martín Morales, known in the culinary world for its Peruvian restaurant "Ceviche" in London. We will publish an interview with his partner David Ballantyne, also responsible for this compilation.

Tiger's Milk had already released “Peru Maravilloso” in every sonic format, including vinyl deluxe edition LP and 7".
We must also mention the collaboration of Andrés Tapia (Repsychled Rcds) in the excellent selection of the compiled songs.
Now, the music:
We must also mention the collaboration of Andrés Tapia (Repsychled Rcds) in the excellent selection of the compiled songs.
Now, the music:
Lucho Neves and his Orchestra started playing with skill and originality a classic tune of the South-American Andean music: “El Mambo de Machaguay”, latin jazz with an unique flavor. Then comes the Caribbean style 'descarga' of Chango y su Conjunto playing an incredible set right before the relentless groove of Juaneco y su Combo, with the hypnotic "Cumbia del Pacurro": cries of wild animals from the dark jungle, soaked in wah wah guitars and the ubiquitous guiro that invites you to move your body in a trance!
Then comes the turn of the "dark" Zheros with their uninhibited psychedelic guitar riffs and reverberant sound, cumbiando with "Para Chachita". The party can't stop! The sound of "Meshkalina" comes now: a little masterpiece of psychedelic Peruvian composed by Traffic Sound, this time in the original version of the Paco Zambrano y su Combo, with a strong boogaloo rhythm. After that, the cumbia returns again, this time with Los Gatos Blancos and their “El Chacarero”; a band reissued for the first time in a compilation, with an extremely fine sound between Los Mirlos and Los Diablos Rojos.Zulu sings "Sueño de Amor" in the key of soul and boogaloo, with that sensual idiosyncratic voice of him. After this romantic intermission we are back to the land where cumbia kicks, and we are dancing to Los Orientales, Los Ribereños and Los Ecos, who bring a stunning reinterpretation of the Beatles tune "I feel fine”.
What can be said about the next track "Toro Mata"? It's a tune that every Peruvian has ever heard. It's a song that not only defines our national folklore, but, unlike any, reveals the great contribution of African culture to the Peruvian culture. The compiled version brings the Orchestra of Pocho Purizaga doing some beautiful string arrangements, elegant Hammond sounds and tasty percussion work.
And after that batch of cool songs we know you people want more, so let us bring al last but not least Felix Martínez y sus Chavales and the great Aniceto y sus Fabulosos (you can read their story here: http://columnabeat.blogspot.de/2009/12/aniceto-y-sus-fabulosos.html
The LP also comes with a bonus track from the creators of "Darkroom", The Zheros and their insane "Descarga de los Zheros".It is also important to mention the quality of this first label's release, the very informative notes accompanying the CD and the mp3 downloads accompanying the vinyl edition, adding a good design to a compilation that sets already, musically, a high standard for future editions of our Peruvian urban music.

Cumbia All Stars european Tour 2013
FINAL DESTINATION: 2.11. Berlin.
Sitting in a restaurant near the city center, I started my conversation with Lucho Carrillo, singer of Cumbia All Stars. "We really rocked the house!" He replied enthusiastically when I asked how the concert was in the WOMEX .
Cumbia All Stars came to Berlin after several performances starting with their concert at the World Music Expo in Cardiff (UK) representing Peru. Artists from around the world like Sidi Touré from Mali , Les Tambours de Brazza from Congo or the famous Van Van from Cuba were also there.
Sitting at the same table (shortly before their concert) I was honored to see the musicians who played in bands like Compay Quinto, Los Destellos, Los Diablos Rojos or Los Beta 5 : the founders of Peruvian Cumbia, now known by various nicknames, including "Psychedelic Cumbia" or what I like most "Cumbia Beat".
Lucho Carrillo (who answered my questions) was for four decades the lead singer of Los Diablos Rojos, with whom he toured through the country. Under the direction of Marino Valencia he recorded ten Lps : "Our cumbia was aguarachadita" he told me confident , "we had our own style, Los Destellos their own style too, you recognized our sound immediately, not like the groups from now sounding similar to each other "
.
GUITARS IN THE ORBIT !
Asking about their European tour he told me that in the peruvian carp of WOMEX they initially had trouble checking the sound. But then people, their audience, surrendered completely dancing to the hot music that they carry in their drums, guitars and blood.
In addition to be excellent musicians, Cumbia All Stars are perfectionists of sound and proudly want to leave a mark on the European public. Their concert is like opening the door of their homes and like letting you into their world, a world in which sympathy and joy of life make you spend an unforgettable night .
"Thanks to Selvámonos, because of them we are here. They wanted us to play the authentic, original Peruvian cumbia. At the beginning they casted about twenty musicians, but now only eight stayed." As he said it, I saw them eating. It was clear that they fitted together very well.
At the concert in Glashaus Fernando Diaz Loli started playing his stratocaster, making his “solo” with his teeths in the style of rock and roll! Or Manuel Pecho, coming out of the shadows to do a bass solo , starting with deep to the higher notes!
What defines Peruvian Cumbia as music style? " Electric guitars! " answered Enrique Yllescas, "We added effects like Fuzz and Wah Wah " remarked Lucho "And Los Pakines used the Tape Echo" ( predecessor of Delay) - added Enrique again.
"And how this reinterpretation of cumbia was accepted in Colombia, these new sounds from Perú? I asked with curiosity : "Well” - Lucho Carrillo told me - “years ago, I was invited to Bucaramanga in Colombia, and when I arrived they had closed several streets of the city. It was a tremendous party in the whole city. They had put together a huge sound system. More than three blocks of people dancing in the street and they were dancing Peruvian cumbia! The DJs put Los Destellos, then my group Los Diablos Rojos... Everything! I had stayed 15 years living in Colombia, but fate brought me here, to Europe, to be the voice of Cumbia All Stars."
"After Berlin, when we will return to Perú, we will complete our recordings of the first album with the band, we´ll gonna finish the mixing and mastering" concluded Lucho Carrillo.
Jose Rodriguez "El Gato", manager of the 2013 European tour, told me that the album will be officially launched on January 3rd in Lima. He also said that they are working with La Gris Films, for the realization of the next video clip, which will be released about March 2014.
My thanks to Selvámonos team, especially José Rodríguez and Juliette Boggio and Lakino.

Como vemos las guitarras Gibson con pastillas P 90 y Humbucker, como las ES 335 – 355, Les Paul y SG Standard brillan por su ausencia, tampoco vemos ninguna banda con guitarras Fender Telecaster. Así tenemos Grupos que adoran el sonido de Chuck Berry o de los Yardbirds pero que no pueden acercarse a ese sonido, eso sin mencionar el sonido Rickenbacker/Vox AC 30 de los Beatles o Byrds, verdaderos iconos generacionales.

El Sonido de los 60s en el Perú: La guitarra eléctrica. Parte 3
En la ecuación de la guitarra y bajo eléctricos, el amplificador juega un rol esencial:
Desde los 50s y hasta fines de los 60s el dominio lo llevaron dos firmas : Fender y Vox.
Los amplificadores en esta época eran exclusivamente potenciados por válvulas, las cuales daban unas características concretas al amplificador, influenciando el sonido del mismo.
Las válvulas producen un sonido con gran cuerpo y calidez, sus frecuencias agudas son intensas pero no irritantes, la guitarra produce un sonido con gran presencia y apertura y al llegar al máximo volúmen, no incrementan éste sino que producen una distorsión armónica muy musical. Por otro lado a pesar de ostentar pocos watts pueden llegar a tener volúmenes muy altos. Pero, a pesar de similaridades generales, Fender y Vox producían amplificadores muy distintos.
Fender tenía amplis de 12 hasta 65 Watts : la serie económica orientada a los adolescentes como el Super Champ, para estudio como el Princeton, para bajo y guitarra como el Bassman. Las series Tweed de los 50s descontinuadas en los 60s, y desde mediados de los 60s hasta inicios de los 70s las series Blackface. Todos estos amplificadores eran de una gran calidad, con mucha presencia y headroom, los cuales distorsionaban sólo al máximo volúmen (que con 65 W era altísimo). Integrados en su circuito tenían un estupendo efecto de Tremolo y un arrollador y majestuoso efecto de Reverberación (Twin reverb), el cual lo hacía el preferido de todas las bandas Surf a través del globo.
La firma inglesa Vox por su parte, producía los AC15 y AC 30 (con 15 y 30 W respectivamente) desarrollados para la banda The Shadows y que se basaban en el famoso Fender Tweed Bassman de los 50s. Estos amplis producían un sonido muy dinámico, con gran presencia, con agudos brillantes y a altos volúmenes producían una distorsión que podríamos llamar perfecta. Eran el sonido del Rock.

El sonido de los 60s en el Perú: La guitarra eléctrica. Parte 1
En los 50s el rocknroll llega al Perú y con él la guitarra eléctrica encuentra su lugar privilegiado, el cual se confirmará a través de los 60s en géneros como el Surf, Instro, Beat, Calypso, Soul, Psicodelia y en los 70s con el Hard Rock, el Funk, la Cumbia etc.
Si bien grupos pioneros como los Kreps y Millonarios del Jazz habían utilizado guitarras eléctricas de caja (archtop), con un sonido especifico para el jazz, los grupos que siguieron adquirieron guitarras de madera maciza para obtener un sonido eléctrico de rock, agresivo y brillante.
Grupos como los Incas Modernos, Los Saicos, Los Shains, Doltons, Belkings, etc, compraron guitarras tipo Fender o se las hicieron ellos mismos. Los amplificadores a válvulas que utilizaban eran Fender, Vox, Geloso modificados para guitarra y bajo o aquellos hechos por ellos mismos, los cuales eran tocados a altos volúmenes en las Matinales.
Los grupos peruanos de los 60s estaban influidos por el sonido instrumental y melódico de los Shadows y Ventures, pero también el sonido agresivo y distorsionado de los Kinks o los Yardbirds.
Después del triunfo de los Beatles en Norteamérica y las invasiones de grupos Beat británicos, en el mundo ocurrió un fenómeno sin precedentes, chicos y (algunas) chicas formaron sus propias bandas en sus barrios y colegios, y sin ningún pudor salieron a tocar y a grabar discos.
En los EEUU a estas bandas adolescentes las llamamos de Garage. En otros países, de México hasta Hong Kong, estos grupos fueron los fundadores de una tradición de rock que no acaba aún. Este fenómeno se extendió incluso más allá de la cortina de hierro!
Guitarra alemana Kira, modelo Haiti.
Así la demanda de guitarras y bajos eléctricos explotó y muchas firmas tradicionales de Europa se vieron obligadas a sacar una línea juvenil. Las marcas alemanas Framus, Hoefner, Hopf, Klira y Dynacord vendían guitarras que eran más o menos basadas en el diseno de la Fender Stratocaster. Firmas inglesas como Burns, Vox y la italiana Eko, introducían nuevas líneas e innovaciones. En Asia las guitarras Teisco y Guyatone eran las mas conocidas. En EEUU los grandes almacenes Sears empezaron a satisfacer la demanda sacando series baratas de guitarras Silvertone encargadas a las firmas Danelectro, Harmony, Supro y a la misma Teisco.
Pero todas estas firmas tenían algo en común : sus guitarras tenían un precio accesible y pastillas de una sola bobina (single coil), al ser disenadas copiando los modelos Stratocaster o Jaguar.

Dias Felices : Sotano Beat se ha vuelto libro
Manana es la presentación en Lima del Libro que recopila los artículos y entrevistas más importantes del fanzine peruano Sótano Beat, el cual ayude a fundar allá por el 2001.
Desde su segundo número y en adelante, me propuse que el fanzine no solo sea un espacio para nuestras elucubraciones personales sobre la historia del Beat de los anos 60 en el Perú, y en Lima en particular, sino que salgamos de nuestras habitaciones y vayamos a buscar a los músicos que integraron las bandas que tanto nos fascinaban. Producto de ésta nueva actitud fueron maravillosas entrevistas con Los Shains, Laghonia, Los Yorks y desde luego Los Saicos. Esta última entrevista con la banda más legendaria y de la cual sólo conocíamos rumores y recuerdos borrosos, fué la que despertó un interés de parte de la prensa y la escena musical en todo el mundo. Desde la revista norteamericana de Garage Ugly Things, hasta Munster Rcds en Espana mostraron un merecido interés y admiración por nuestro pequeno fanzine xerocopiado.
En Lima la prensa musical y los músicos de todas las épocas también nos halagaron, pero lo más importante, nos prestaron su atención y confianza y se dieron cuenta que no sólo eramos unos "chicos" escribiendo sobre lo que les gusta sino que éramos investigadores serios, pués nuestras preguntas no solo buscaban la anécdota pícara sino también verdadera información sobre el contexto y la época que ésas bandas habían experimentado, en una Lima que ya NO existe.

Gladys Arista
La modelo Gladys Arista fue la más popular y carismática en el Perú durante los años 60s.
Se inició modelando en revistas desde su adolescencia. Luego se haría famosa en la TV y con los años se convertiría en la más cotizada. Aquí la vemos posando para el cover de la revista musical Orfeo; nótese que la foto está al revés.
Era hermana de Miguel Arista, uno de los primeros cantantes de la banda Los Shains´s y era considerada la modelo " A go gó" por excelencia.
