Los Destellos – Elsa

Guitarist Enrique Delgado and Los Destellos sparked Lima's urban chicha boom in the late 1960s by uniting Andean huayno melodies, Cuban son rhythms and psychedelic garage rock. Elsa stands as Delgado's defining statement, built around an unforgettable, staccato electric guitar riff that set the blueprint for modern Peruvian cumbia.
