Boebis’ ‘Negro Soy, Echoes of Black Peru’ Mixtape

@whatslater

To celebrate Peruvian Independence Day we are very happy to bring you a new mixtape from one of our frequent collaborators, French music researcher and DJ Boebis. This latest mixtape seems him delve deep into Afro-Peru with tracks by essential artists such as Nicómedes Santa Cruz, Peru Negro, Lucila Campos and Arturo Zambo Cavero, musicians who constantly fought for the culture and rights of Peru’s Afro-descendent peoples to be recognised.

You can check out more of Boebis’ mixes and his fine research into Peruvian and Brazilian music (in French) at Mon Perou, Bonjour Samba and Berceuse Électrique.
