<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nPeruvian duo Dengue Dengue Dengue\u2019s return to Enchufada with new EP, \u2018Son De Los Diablos\u2019 \u2014 a record named after the traditional dance of the same name, Spanish for \u2018From the Devils\u2019. Brought over the duo\u2019s native Peru by Spanish conquistadors, it originally took the form of a procession of dancers and musicians that would take to Lima\u2019s streets wearing devil masks, absorbing the cultural and musical traditions of the local Afroperuvian slave population of the time. A core influence in modern Peruvian music and culture today, Afroperuvian styles also continue to inform the music of Dengue Dengue Dengue, as seen in RBMA\u2019s recent \u2018Afro-Peruvian Beats<\/a>\u2019 documentary. <\/p>\n This inspiration is especially prominent on the title track \u2018Son De Los Diablos\u2019, which incorporates traditional instruments such as the cajita, but also on \u2018Buscando\u2019, where the duo recorded with members of the Ballumbrosio family \u2014 the prominent lineage of musicians and dancers widely regarded as leading ambassadors of Afroperuvian music, dance and culture. As the band explains, the song was \u201ca big step forward\u201d, as it was the first time the duo recorded every rhythmic element with live musicians, giving the track \u201cthe flow and cadence only live musicians can achieve\u201d, as well as a vocal sample from one of Peru\u2019s biggest stars, Lucha Reyes. The EP continues with final tracks \u2018Flootz\u2019 and \u2018Cobre\u2019, through which Dengue Dengue Dengue further explore their own unique blend of entrancing South American and African rhythms and melodies.<\/p>\n Listen to the EP below.
