About Los Wembler's De Iquitos

Los Wembler's de Iquitos was founded in 1964, and was made up of six members, Salomón Sánchez Saavedra, and his five children: Isaías, Jair, Alberto, Jairo and Misael. In 1971 , they recorded an LP called Cumbia amazónica , and started the new musical genre called cumbia amazónica , a subgenre of Peruvian cumbia , itself a derivative of cumbia. Los Wemblers, the legendary band from Iquitos, the capital of the Amazon in Peru, is getting ready to tour internationally. The five Sanchez Brothers who make up the band are Amazonian Cumbia pioneers who played an essential part in launching the Chicha explosion of the 1970s. The band, which wrote and recorded the classics Sonido Amazonico and La danza del Petrolero was anthologized on the Roots of Chicha compilations and has been covered by bands as varied as Los Mirlos, Chicha Libre and Firewater and now with the most famous DJ Electro Tropical, we also find their classic albums in the famous 'Roots of Chicha'. Los Wembler's from Iquitos releasing a new EP in 2017 at Barbès Records and promises beautiful representations all as rich as the original!. Los Wemblers hadnt left the Amazonian city of Iquitos much until being invited by the Smithsonian Institute to perform in Washington DC and then tour a few US cities. Their shows were a tremendous success. The brothers are still faithful to their original sound and havent lost a bit of their passion and creative spirit. All their shows were raucous affairs  part latin dance parties and part psychedelic rock extravaganza. In 1968, in Iquitos, the capital of the Peruvian Amazon, a certain Solomon Sanchez decided to form a band that would play an electric version of the music popular in the Amazon at the time - pandilla, carimbó, and of course, cumbia. Solomon enlisted his five sons and named the band Los Wemblers. Using electric instruments came with a certain Anglo exoticism and in the middle of the Amazon, the name Los Wemblers sounded exotic enough. It still does. Los Wemblers were started the same year as Los Destellos and Juaneco y su Combo, two other Peruvian cumbia pioneers who laid the foundation for what would become known as chicha. Iquitos is the largest isolated city in the world. It boasts five hundred thousand inhabitants, but its closest road is six days away by boat. Still, the city has been the scene of a few invasions, among them the rubber boom of the turn of the 20th century and the oil boom of the 1960s. Despite its geographical isolation, Iquitos has always been open to the outside world  for better or for worse. The Sanchez clan got its inspiration from AM radio broadcasts which would play music from Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, Venezuela, as well as America. All those influences found their ways into their music. Iquitos had always had a reputation as a party town and the new Petroleros needed to spend their petro-dollars. Los Wemblers reputation grew quickly and they found themselves touring around the Amazon region, spreading their sound. Los Wemblers penned two of the early hits of the genre  Sonido Amazonico, which has become the unofficial anthem of Amazonian Cumbia, and La Danza del Petrolero. Both tunes were made famous by Los Mirlos, a band that took many of its clues from Los Wemblers but being based in Lima, had much easier access to tastemakers and audiences and became the better known of the Amazonian bands. From 1973 to 1979, Los Wemblers recorded two to three albums a year but by the late 1970s, the band started slowing down. Their rootsy psychedelic style was getting outdated as younger bands started using more synthesizers and processed guitar sounds. After Solomon died, the Sanchez brothers mostly stopped touring and recording  but they were still popular at local functions and parties. In the past few years, there has been a regain of interest in their music and the band performed in Lima after a twenty-five year absence from the national scene. And now, Los Wemblers are bringing their Amazonian funk to the US and Europe.
