In the few years that the Disper\u00fa record label was operative, it managed to open its doors to emerging artists, who were often ignored by the major labels but would go on to leave their mark on Peruvian popular music.<\/p>\n
In 1967, Disper\u00fa commissioned trumpeter To\u00f1o Reyes to form a band he called To\u00f1o y sus Sicod\u00e9licos. During the recording sessions for this album they performed a series of songs that reflected the latest tropical music trends, in his inimitable style.<\/p>\n
Instrumentals such as ‘Mr. Boogaloo’, ‘El Guayacol’, ‘La Anticuchera’, ‘La Peinadora’ and ‘La Fiesta es Ma\u00f1ana’ are versions that follow the lines traced by the Mexican composer and drummer Leo Acosta. In the early sixties, based in Los Angeles, Acosta played with the orchestras of Harry James, Sammy Davis Jr, Tony Bennett, Herb Alpert, and D\u00e1maso P\u00e9rez Prado. Mid-decade, Acosta turned to the novel sounds of boogaloo, which immediately caught the attention of young South Americans.<\/p>\n
The song ‘Borinque Bella’ is another cover version, originally recorded by The TNT Band, based in New York. Another noteworthy influence on the album is the blind Venezuelan organist Tulio Enrique Le\u00f3n, who performed cumbias and guarachas enhanced by his Hammond organ, as is the case of ‘Chin chin’.<\/p>\n
Songs in vogue at the time complete the album. The best known is perhaps ‘Es la lluvia que cae’, popularized in Spanish in 1967 by Los Iracundos. \u2018Tequila’ and ‘No te bote’, by The Champs and Sonora Matancera, respectively, were also classics on Lima’s radio stations. ‘Las hojas secas’, by the Mexicans Los Zignos, was so popular that it was even covered by Peruvian rock groups such as Los Steivos and Los 007.<\/p>\n
The success reaped by To\u00f1o y sus Sicod\u00e9licos took them straight to another record company, and the group\u2019s records were also re-released in neighboring countries, always with striking psychedelic cover illustrations.<\/p>\n
