Los Orientales de Paramonga, formed in the late 1960s by students from Colegio Miguel Grau in Paramonga, Peru, are pioneers of Peruvian cumbia. Led by self-taught guitarist Maximiliano Chávez, the band fused traditional cumbia with psychedelic rock, notably incorporating the wah-wah pedal—a technique inspired by Lucho y Sus Satélites. Their 1970 debut single, "Lobos al Escape," became an international hit, leading to their acclaimed 1974 album, "Fiesta en Oriente." This album, featuring tracks like "Sonia La Sexy" and "La Momia," has gained cult status among collectors and was reissued in 2019, cementing the band's legacy in the global music scene.
