Los Destellos (Spanish for "the Flashes") is a Peruvian cumbia band formed in Lima, Peru in 1966 by Enrique Delgado Montes.
In their early releases, Los Destellos popularized the sharp sound of the electric guitar and bass in the context of a cumbia ensemble. By replacing the horns and accordion with the strings, they played a key role in developing the genre that later became known as Peruvian cumbia, [1] influencing bands such as Los Mirlos, Los Ecos, and Los Diablos Rojos. [2] The band's style bears influence from psychedelic and surf rock as well as cumbia and local Peruvian genres. [3]
In 1970, the band released their best-selling single, "Elsa", which sold over a million copies. [1] Under Edith Delgado Montes' leadership, a reformed Los Destellos recorded several songs for the 2009 Peruvian film The Milk of Sorrow . [4]

The band is well known for their use of modern instruments, particularly the synthesizer and musical keyboards, as part of the incorporation of pop-style music.

The music of Argentina includes a variety of traditional, classical, and popular genres. According to the Harvard Dictionary of Music, Argentina also has "one of the richest art music traditions and perhaps the most active contemporary musical life."
Peruvian music 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.
Cumbia villera is a subgenre of cumbia music originating in Argentina in the late 1990s and popularized all over Latin America and Latin communities abroad.
