Karamanduka Y Melcochita – Acabo Con Lima Huyo Pa New York

Originally released in 1969, this album is a genuine gem of Peruvian boogaloo, blending Afro-Cuban rhythms, salsa, jazz and soul into an infectious mix brimming with energy and Latin flavour.

Featuring the vocals and percussion of Melcochita and Karamanduka, backed by the MAG Peruvian All Stars, the music comes alive through dynamic arrangements, lively piano lines and an especially powerful rhythm section. The influence of New York boogaloo is unmistakable, yet it takes on a distinctive identity shaped by the creativity and talent of Lima’s music scene. Highlights include “Peruvian Boogaloo”, “Dale a los Cueros” and “Vuela Mi Descarga”, showcasing the raw power of the percussion and the festive spirit of these Latin jam sessions. An essential discovery for fans of boogaloo, classic salsa and rare Peruvian tropical sounds.
