Chicha music is a genre that originated in the late 1960s in Peru, blending traditional Andean sounds with Cumbia, a popular Latin American rhythm. It features electric guitars, synthesizers, and a distinctive use of percussion, creating a lively and danceable sound. The lyrics often reflect themes of everyday life, love, and social issues, resonating with the working-class communities. The genre gained popularity in the 1980s and has since influenced various artists and music styles. Today, Chicha music is celebrated for its cultural significance and continues to evolve, attracting new audiences both in Peru and internationally.
