This compilation brings together for the first time diverse Peruvian musical groups that immersed themselves in dance music following the codes brought by the disco revolution. As a phenomenon of a new culture, the global dissemination of disco music had various variations and reformulations. The way it took root in Peru constitutes a fascinating yet underexplored history, despite the numerous recordings that came to light, mainly in the 1980s, running parallel to the boom of Peruvian tropical music, the emergence of a new pop rock scene, and the widespread use of synthesizers and electronic drums. And even though the groups were eclectic and moved across various musical genres, their dance music hits have now become cult pieces. From Lima to Trujillo, from Iquitos to Tarapoto, this compilation presents a wide range of sounds designed for the dance floor: unrestrained, eclectic, and high-energy. From pioneering groups with brief yet foundational trajectories like
Rollets
(composed of members from the rock group
Laghonia
) or
Santodomingo Kid
(led by experimental musician
Luis David Aguilar
), who range from boogie to soul disco with electrifying synthesizer sounds. But also, the exotic arrangements of
Grupo América
and
Grupo Cremolada
, to the tropical disco pop sound of
Grupo San Francisco
or
Los Roller's de Tarapoto
. From the space disco ventures of
Grupo Swing
to the synthesized pop sound of
Pepo Rock
,
Jaque Mate
, or
Annie
.
Viva el sábado: Hits De Disco Pop Peruano (1978 - 1989)
