 is originally the name of a corn-based liquor favored by the Incas in pre
 -colombian days. Chicha is also the name of Peru’s particular brand of 
 cumbia first made popular in the late 60’s by bands such as Los Destell
 os\\, Manzanita\\, Los Mirlos and Juaneco y su Combo. While loosely inspi
 red by Colombian accordion-driven cumbias\\, chicha incorporated the dist
 inctive pentatonic scales of Andean melodies\\, some Cuban son\\, and the
  sounds of surf guitars\\, farfisa organs and moog synthesizers\\; an odd
 ly post-modern combination of western psychedelia\\, Cuban and Colombian 
 rhythms\\, national melodies and idiosyncratic inventions which were clos
 e in spirit to the Congolese rumba of Franco or the pop syncretism of Os 
 Mutantes. Chicha Libre’s sound and approach are completely indebted to 
 the Peruvian bands it originally emulated. Like their mentors\\, they use
  surf guitar\\, organ sounds and latin percussion to play a mixture of bo
 rrowed and homegrown sounds. Their sound has become more processed\\, syn
 th sounds and treated guitars and the borrowings differ from that of Peru
 vian precursors – classical music and pop debris from 3 continents in C
 hicha Libre’s case – but the latin rhythms that form the basis of the
  music are both as inherent and as foreign to them as they were to the Sh
 ipibo Indians who first took up the electric guitar. The current six memb
 er Chicha Libre is made up of French\\, US\\, Puerto Rican\\, Venezuelan 
 and Mexican musicians who play a mixture of latin rhythms\\, surf and psy
 chedelic pop inspired by Peruvian music from Lima and the Amazon: Olivier
  Conan on cuatro\\, vocals\\; Joshua Camp on keytar\\, accordion\\, vocal
 s\\; Karina Colis on timbales\\, vocals\\; Dan Martinez on bass\\; Neil O
 choa on congas and Stephen Ulrich on guitar. + Live Visuals by B.A. Miale
