Los Mirlos (Spanish for "the Blackbirds") is a Peruvian cumbia band with origins in Moyobamba, Peru. [1]
The band was originally formed when some of the band's founders moved from the town of Moyobamba in Peruvian Amazonia to Lima in 1972; they were signed by the record label Infopesa the next year and would go on to release nine albums and two compilation records with the label. [2] Their music bears influence from psychedelic and surf rock as well as cumbia, [3] with members of the band citing the music of groups such as Los Destellos and Los Chamas as important influences. [4] The band often emphasised their connection with the Peruvian jungle. [5]
The founding members of the group are:
In 2022, the band's documentary titled Mirlo's Dance premiered at the 26th Lima Film Festival. [6] It was commercially released on February 29, 2024, in Peruvian theaters. [7]
