History

The musical project was born in 2010 in Lima, [7] when Lima-born musicians Rafael Pereira and Felipe Salmon after attending the Trimarchi graphic design festival in Argentina decided to explore Amazonian cumbia and psychedelic music through electronics. Among their musical influences was Los Wembler's de Iquitos band. [8]

In 2012, they released their first album, La alianza profana. [2] [7] Since then they began to incorporate various styles of domestic dances from all over Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa, including zouk, dancehall, kuduro [9] and tarraxo. [7] The pair began performing at festivals in Peru and later toured throughout South America, Central America, Europe and Asia, including performing at the 2014 Sónar Festival. [10]

In 2014 they published Serpiente dorada, and two years later, Siete raíces. [2] In 2018, they released Son de los diablos, referring to the traditional Afro-Peruvian dance Son de los Diablos, where they delve into this musical style. [11] Dengue Dengue Dengue explored traditional Afro-Peruvian rhythms, most notably on the 2019 album Zenit & Nadir, one of their releases featuring live percussion from the Ballumbrosio brothers. [7] For this, they worked with the Ballumbrosio family, a Peruvian musical dynasty known for preserving indigenous rhythms, including landó, festejo, and crioullo music, as well as quijada, a percussive instrument carved from a donkey's jawbone. [12]

In 2020, being based in Berlin, Germany, they published Fiebre with the Mexican label NAAFI, where they make use of polyrhythms and minimalism. [1] In August 2020, the duo launched the Kebrada label with a new compilation, titled Discos en 3/Cuartos, released in September 2020. The compilation featured 11 melodies from different musicians, such as DJ Python, and a new Dengue Dengue Dengue track. [12]

The Music of Peru is an amalgamation of sounds and styles drawing on Peru's Andean, Spanish, and African roots. Andean influences can perhaps be best heard in wind instruments and the shape of the melodies, while the African influences can be heard in the rhythm and percussion instruments, and European influences can be heard in the harmonies and stringed instruments. Pre-Columbian Andean music was played on drums and string instruments, like the European pipe and tabor tradition. Andean tritonic and pentatonic scales were elaborated during the colonial period into hexatonic, and in some cases, diatonic scales.
