b'FEATURECOUNTRY FOCUS: PERUFIVE PERUVIANMUSICIANS FOR YOURPLAYLIST Like me, Ive bet youve been caught out at the local pop quiz for not being able to name any Peruvian musicians. Just to ensure this never happens again, heres a list of musicians from Peru who, over the years, have created the countrys most toe-tapping sounds.Research_Nick StephensonDengue Dengue DengueWhen the Peruvian duo from Lima, Dengue Dengue Dengue, first broke onto the club scene, local music fans quickly lapped up their unique hybrid cocktail of traditional cumbia with the modern electronic rhythms of dub, techno and dancehall sounds. Felipe Salmn and Rafael Pereira are the men behind the music, and the masks, which they started wearing in 2010. They are best known for putting on impeccable audio-visual shows that involve amazing visuals, neon colours, geometrical patterns, allusions to shamanistic tradition and those ever present masks. Their name derives from the slang definition of the word dengue, which means an urge to party. If you want to go out, get drunk and party, you have to say that you have dengue, according to the band. The word also comes from Cuban rhythm, also called dengue. 44 SEPTEMBER 2019 HEYMUSIC.COM 45'
