Tomatos, Chiles, Squash, Beans, Maize, Potatos… and punk rock?

23 April 2012

Maybe we need to add to the list of new world gifts to the old world, punk rock.

Although they were aware of the British Invasion of the time, Los Saicos front man Erwin Flores (who later emigrated  to the United States and worked for NASA) claims the musical style developed in his dad’s garage in Lima  back in 1964 was indubitably Peruvian.  And there are musicologists who will tell you Los Saicos’ 1964 hit,  Demolición, was the first real punk single.
