The majority of these bands emerged as a result of political\/social change implemented by the nationalist military dictatorship installed at the time. As liner note author \u003cstrong\u003eHugo Levano G\u003c\/strong\u003e writes: \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLos Demonios Del Mantaro\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLos Demonios De Corocochay\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eLos 5 Palomillas\u003c\/strong\u003e are the exceptions to this, as they recorded between 1965 and 1967 and produced a hybrid of cumbia and huayno called huaycumbia, a genre which achieved high sales figures during those years. Despite the characteristics of huaycumbia, the early composers of Peruvian cumbia didn't consider it a direct source of inspiration. They admit to being more influenced by Colombian cumbia, Cuban guaracha, beat, and psychedelic music from the UK and US that they had played since the end of the '60s, in their 'own style', as a part of a musical appropriation process that quickly led them to forge a singular sound.\u003c\/em\u003e Vampi Soul collects 21 tracks here for the third installment, each one brimming with the intoxicating concoction of Caribbean percussion, Andean pentatonics, synths, wah-wahs, fuzztones, and more that characterize this unique sound. Choice cuts recommended by Richie Cashmere include: \"Lamento Del Condor\" by \u003cstrong\u003eLos Condores Del Cusco\u003c\/strong\u003e; \"La Espumita Del Rio\" by \u003cstrong\u003eLos Casmenos\u003c\/strong\u003e; \"Girasoleando\" by \u003cstrong\u003eLos Girasoles\u003c\/strong\u003e; \"Chola Ingrata\" by \u003cstrong\u003eLos Ecos\u003c\/strong\u003e; \"Si No Quieras Bailar Vuelve A Casa\" by \u003cstrong\u003eLos Scorpios\u003c\/strong\u003e; and the Nigerian hi-life sounding \"Larga Espera\" by \u003cstrong\u003eLos Sander's De Nana\u003c\/strong\u003e. This Volume, along with Volume's 1 and 2, are not to be missed by anyone with any kind of rhythm in their bones.
