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.

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.

Cumbia All Stars Tour Europeo 2013 : Reportaje.
Entrevistando a la banda |
Cumbia All Stars había llegado a Berlín después de varias actuaciones iniciadas con su concierto en la World Music Expo en Cardiff, Reino Unido, representando al Perú juntos a artistas de todo el mundo como Sidi Touré de Mali, Les Tambours de Brazza del Congo o los famosos Van Van de Cuba.
Sentados en la misma mesa ( poco antes de su concierto) tuve el honor de ver a los músicos fundadores de la cumbia peruana, ahora conocida bajo diversos motes, entre ellos “Cumbia Psicodélica” o el que a mí más me gusta “Cumbia Beat”.
Lucho Carrillo fue durante cuatro décadas el vocalista de Los Diablos Rojos, con los que recorrió el país y bajo la dirección de Marino Valencia grabó una decena de Lps: “ Nuestra cumbia era aguarachadita “ me comenta confidente, “ nosotros teníamos nuestro estilo, Los Destellos el suyo, reconocías nuestro sonido al toque, no como los grupos de ahora que suenan tan parecidos unos a otros”
Preguntando por su tour europeo me comentan que en la carpa peruana del Womex, al principio costó trabajo poner el sonido a punto, pero después la gente, su público, se entregó completamente bailando al son de esa música caliente que ellos llevan en los cueros y en la sangre.
Y es que, además de excelentes músicos, los integrantes de Cumbia All Stars son perfeccionistas del sonido y con orgullo quieren dejar huella en el público europeo. Un concierto para ellos es como abrir la puerta de sus casas y dejarte entrar en su mundo, un mundo en el cual la simpatía y la alegría de vivir te hacen pasar una noche inolvidable.
“Y todo gracias a Selvamonos, es por ellos que estamos aquí, porque querían que tocaramos la auténtica, original cumbia peruana. Convocaron cerca de veinte músicos y hemos quedado solo ocho” y mientras me lo decía, al verlos comiendo juntos poco antes de subirse al escenario del Glas Haus, fué claro que además se llevan muy bien, como cuando más tarde durante su concierto cada uno de ellos fueron haciendo “solos” en sus respectivos instrumentos :
Fernando Díaz Loli arrancando octavas imposibles de su stratocaster para terminar tocando las cuerdas con los dientes al más puro estilo del rockanroll ! o Manuel Pecho, saliendo de la sombra para hacer un solo de bajo eléctrico, empezando con las notas graves y profundas y llegando hasta abajo ! del instrumento me refiero. Y es que la picardía sale al menor descuido.
Qué es lo que define una agrupación de Cumbia Peruana? “Las guitarras eléctricas !” me responde Enrique Yllescas, “...le anadíamos efectos como el Fuzz y el Wah Wah” remarca Lucho “...y Los Pakines solían usar el Eco de Cinta !” (antecesor del Delay) - añade Enrique nuevamente.
Y cómo aceptaron los colombianos esa reinterpretación de la cumbia, esos nuevos sonidos desde Perú? pregunto curioso: “Mira - me cuenta Lucho Carrillo - yo fuí a Colombia invitado a la ciudad de Bucaramanga, y cuando llego habían cerrado varias calles de la ciudad y armado tremendo fiestón, con unos equipos de sonido enormes ! Más de tres cuadras de gente bailando en la calle y lo que bailaban era cumbia peruana! Los pinchadiscos ponían Los Destellos, mi grupo entonces Los Diablos Rojos...todo! Me quedé 15 anos viviendo en Colombia pero el destino me trajo aquí, a Europa, a ser la voz de Cumbia All Stars “
“Después de Berlin, cuando regresemos a Perú vamos a poner a punto las grabaciones de lo que será el primer disco con la banda, vamos a terminar las mezclas y la masterización.” concluye Lucho Carrillo. Conversando después con José Rodriguez “el gato”, persona clave y tour manager de la banda, me aclara que el disco será oficialmente presentado el 3 de Enero en Lima.
Mis agradecimientos al equipo Selvamonos, en especial José Rodríguez y Juliette Boggio y Lakino Berlin.

"El limpiador"
Perú, 2013
95 min - Drama/Sci-fic.
Por curiosidad fui a verla cuando Lakino la presentó en Berlin, además con expectativas pues es la película peruana candidata al Oscar 2014.
"El Limpiador" trata del encuentro entre un hombre maduro y un niño em medio de una epidemia mortal. No creo que haga falta una sinopsis de la película, pues esta se encuentra ya en la red. Voy mejor directo a mi opinión.
Técnicamente (cámara, luces, escenario) "El limpiador" está ok, el ritmo bastante lento y los planos congelados logran crear una atmósfera tediosa y por momentos (pocos) lírica.
Adrian Saba nos recrea una Lima ficcional, vacía, con ocasionales autos en avenidas de madrugada, en la cual los habitantes de la gran ciudad se desenvuelven sin esperanzas y deciden suicidarse sin la menor emoción.
En la cual el hombre maduro mencionado antes, no muestra ni desarrolla ningún sentimiento de afecto hacia ese niño que encuentra y que hasta el último momento trata de apartarlo de sí mismo. Sin emoción.
Lima GRIS. Moderna, con un sistema de Metro y grandes autopistas pero vacía, sin alma y sin identidad.
Los personajes se desenvuelven en ese mundo ACEPTANDO su destino con el truco de no querer verlo. Y eso en medio de una pandemia en la cual la mayoría de la población de la gran ciudad muere, y mueren en un extraño silencio mientras el "limpiador" decide seguir tomando su sopa. Uno se pregunta: es que los peruanos no conocen el miedo?
El director ni se molesta en que sus actores "actúen", amparado en un laconismo inexpresivo se limita a enfocar su cámara y susurrar "acción"
"El limpiador" es una película víctima de la pretenciosidad de un concepto, el mencionado "laconismo", que finalmente me aburrió y decepcionó cuando vi que llegado el final no había sucedido realmente NADA.
Tal vez como película de cortometraje funcionaria, pero además es que la van a mandar a competir por el Oscar!
Pd: Lo mejor de la película es el trailer.

Pere Ubu in Berlin
Pere Ubu in concert! I`d made this film in May 2011 when they played at Quasimodo, a nice Jazz pub on the west side of the town. It was a memorable night because of the strange vibe (bad mood) both from people and band. As we see here, people are dancing but it was sometimes very aggressive too!
All in all, a night i`ll always remember.

Jonathan Richman LIve in Berlin: 13.08.2012
Si claro, lo fuí a ver y aunque el concierto no fue largo, tampoco me dejó insatisfecho. El hombre todavía sabe divertir, bailar, brincar y hacer todo lo posible para que pasemos un buen momento.

Estamos en las nubes

Primitive
the Groupies en el local de ensayo, en algún lugar de NY
La canción Primitive fué originalmente grabada por la banda newyorkina The Groupies a mediados de los 60s. Posteriormente The Cramps realizaron una versión que aparece en su disco Psychedelic Jungle de 1981.
Aunque mi primera escucha se debió a los Cramps, las posteriores me trajeron nombres como los de Howlin Wolf a la cabeza.
Mi versión, a pesar de los ilustres antecedentes, tiene sus diferencias de sonido y definitivamente otra atmósfera, diría "pantanosa".
La grabé en casa y en la sala de ensayo con una Tascam DP004.
