This compilation brings together for the first time the best songs by Los Zheros, one of the most renowned cumbia bands to emerge in the early 1970s in Iquitos—alongside groups like Los Rogers and Los Wemblers—in the heart of Peru's Amazon capital.

The unique Amazonian sound blended fast, percussive cumbia rhythms with electric guitars in a surf style—a distinctive fusion that came to define Peruvian-recorded cumbia, markedly different from the traditional cumbia styles that developed in other cumbia-producing countries like Colombia.

The album includes their psychedelic rock hit ‘Cuarto Oscuro,’ a highly sought-after track not only by cumbia collectors but also by garage and psychedelic DJs. This song also marked the beginning of their recording career in 1973.

This compilation is a joint release with the Peruvian label Rey Record and comes with an insert featuring never- before-seen photos of the band, as well as liner notes by genre expert Víctor Zela (the mind behind the prestigious project "La Cumbia de mis Viejos").
