The International Time Machine makes another stopover in South America to sort through some great records from Peru. I hadn't thought much about Peruvian music until I got my hands on two El Polen records and realized I was making a huge mistake. These are only two of several albums I've come across recently so if you enjoy them you can look forward to at least a few more in the coming months.
Los Sideral's self titled record is lush and very diverse. Each song is a unique blend of different regional and international patterns; cumbia, go-go, balada, surf, and American instrumental rock from the 1950's

Though nearly 50 years shy of actual modernity these Incas certainly sampled a wide range of their musical contemporaries to produce this delightful synthesis of greaser rock, crooning, and surf.
