Various Demoler! Demoler! Demoler! (LP)

(Munster Records) 14 tracks

Disperú is the first independent record label in Peru and South America to be founded and run by a woman. In five years, Rebeca Llave has turned Disperú not only into a successful business, but also into an amplifier and showcase for unique Peruvian pop music projects, including the raw, wild and fierce sound of Los Saicos, the pioneers of 60s punk. This compilation includes 14 amazing tracks, ranging from cumbia or boogaloo to beat and garage, to celebrate the musical legacy of this unique pioneer.

Disperú was formed at a pivotal time for Peruvian pop music. In 1965, young Peruvians were gaining prominence in society and in the entertainment industry. The aftermath of the “New Wave” with its balladeers persisted on radio and television, but rock bands also emerged, inspired by the musical events in Liverpool and on the beaches of California. Thanks to her good nose for talent and her ability to find what she thought was commercially interesting, Rebeca signed an impressive array of artists. Some of them moved on to bigger labels after “the girl with the charming smile” put them on the road to stardom.
