The last team to qualify for next year's world championship is one that has been absent from the global competition for 35 years: Peru. We are talking about a country with glorious sporting history, with unforgettable players who participated in Mexico 1970, such as Héctor Chumpitaz, Teófilo Cubillas, Hugo Sotil And others, those who made life difficult for Pelé's Brazil, with Tostão, Carlos Alberto, and so many other legends who went on to win the World Cup that year. It's also important to remember that Peruvian team from Spain 1982, with players like César Cueto ("the left-handed poet"), Guillermo La Rosa, Percy Rojas, Juan Carlos Oblitas, and many others. Under the guidance of the Argentinian coach Ricardo "El Tigre" Gareca, They are part of the 32 teams that will participate in Russia 2018, including among their players Pedro Gallese, Luis Advíncula, Christian Ramos, Miguel Trauco, Jefferson Farfán and other outstanding athletes who fill an entire country with hope, after so long of watching the final competition on television.
To celebrate Peru's qualification for the World Cup, we bring you new and great music from that country. Our friend Victor Li has helped us to compile a list of songs that attest to the good health of this scene, where we have great examples of pop, rock, neo-folk and electronic experimentation. Peru is one of the most exciting musical spaces on the continent right now and deserves, just like its football, all our attention.
