I highly recommend Los Mirlos, those of you with spotify just search for them. Another stellar chicha band was Los Destellos. Those of you who know me might be interested to know that I'm on hiatus from The TomorrowMen, and along with Tony our drummer, we have joined up with the members of the Deadbeats to form our own chicha style cumbia band. We had our first gig and it was very successful. The sheer novelty of having people dance to our music, actual couples really dancing, was astounding

Anyway, if you start to dig into this music, you will find a lot that would appeal to surf music fans. Definitely start with the comp referenced in Fady's youtube link.

Wow Danny, that's some great stuff! (There are some more short videos on the Combo Tezeta Instagram.) I always thought it would be a cool combination to have the percussion from the early Santana albums combined with a more surfy guitar sound and less jam based song writing, and it would basically lead to this. I will definitely check out that comp!

(But I still hope the T-Men hiatus is only temporarily!)

Thanks for the post Fady. Like you, I'd never heard the original or known it was a cover.

Good luck with the new project Danny! Sounds like a blast.

I assume that you know that Phantom Four's Lorke Lorke is a cover of a Armenian/Kurdish (and some claim Turkish) song.

No I didn't know that one either! Thanks Ran!

Here's the Phantom Four track for comparison:

I love the Phantom Four versions of both songs.
I tried to find a not-so-cheesy version of Lorke Lorke on YouTube, was quite difficult
BTW, here is a Shadows influenced version, but strays a bit too far from the traditional melody for comparison:

Cool to see some chicha love here! Other big hitters are Juaneco y Su Combo, Los Destellos, who did some chicha and other more garage-y stuff, and Los Orientales de Paramonga, who did guitar instro cumbia and salsa. There are lots of awesome old bands from Peru in both the cumbia and rock n' roll vein, with lots of scattered hits here and there. A couple more of my favorites are Okinawa 2000 or La Playa by Los Belkings or Amelia by Los Jaguars. All these bands rule!

Just got the vinyl in yesterday, I like it even more than their second album, which I still loved. Wish somebody would book them in the states.
