The 17-song LP “encompasses steady-grooving, Peruvian cumbia rhythms, transcendent folkloric harp recordings and Lima big band groups taking influence from their highland neighbours, that will appeal to fans of jazz and Latin as well as tropical-minded DJs and deep-digging collectors.”

Many of the tracks are being released for the first time outside of Peru.

Co-compiled by former Soundway label manager Duncan Ballantyne, Peruvian crate digger Andres Tapia del Rio and chef Martin Morales, ANDINA is the first in a series of compilations of music from Peru, including the Amazon and its coastal regions.

A 7″ picture disc featuring ceviche dishes by Morales, as well as a cookbook with his original recipes, will also be available.

ANDINA is out 20th October 2017 on Strut and Tiger’s Milk.
