Sonido Amazónico

A 1975 track from Los Charapas de Oro; our recording is a live KEXP performance.
Los Mirlos, from Los Charapas de Oro (1975)

Our upload is titled Live on KEXP, so it is the live version and not the 1975 studio track. Search results date the session to March 17, 2023, released in July 2023, but we could not verify it. We found no writer credit, no account of the lyric and no chart history, and the 2013 interview does not mention the song. Forbes Peru reports that the Ministry of Culture cited it with "La Danza de los Mirlos" as part of the country's shared repertoire, with over 9 million Spotify streams against 41 million for "La Danza".
