Iquitos, one of Peru's most remote cities and the capital of its Amazon region, was the epicenter of the psychedelic cumbia movement. Countless bands emerged from this place, each with a different fate in their musical journeys. Some rose to become international stars and flag bearers of cumbia, while others remained local legends, their fame never traveling far beyond the Amazon jungle. Los Roger's achieved great success in Iquitos and served as the foundation and inspiration for many local bands that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. ¡Qué ardiente! combines the best of the band's limited discography. The recordings come from their first 45 RPM single and their two mini-LPs for the FTA label, as well as their only elusive LP from 1971, ¡Qué ardiente!, ("How Burning!") recorded for the prestigious IEMPSA label. Their discography dives deep into Cuban-influenced sounds, where the guitar shares the spotlight with powerful percussion and -- with tracks like "Descarga Roger's" -- with the vocals as well. Los Roger's came to an abrupt end just one year after the release of their LP, at the peak of their career, due to their disappointments with the music industry.
