Los Diablos Rojos - Al Ritmo Del Son Satánico (2024) [Hi-Res]

Whether describing the dangers of Satan or fully embracing him, many musical artists have developed an undeniably deep connection to the Devil, producing some unforgettable works of art along the way. Peruvian band Los Diablos Rojos (The Red Devils) knew, regardless of South America’s predominantly Catholic heritage, that a temporary allegiance with Satan was sure to yield some impeccable cumbias—and that if we are inevitably transgressing divine laws while on Earth, we may as well have a scorching soundtrack for our sins. The songs compiled on Ritmo Satánico, recorded between 1972 and 1980, speak to the undeniable legacy in tropical music in Perú, and the country’s ability to produce an endless amount of cumbia bangers. Led by composer and guitarist Marino Valencia, Los Diablos Rojos operated at a fertile time in Peru’s recording industry, when records sold by the millions and musicians toured and recorded almost continually with the backing of prominent labels such as MAG and Sono Radio. Competition amongst musicians was fierce, but Los Diablos Rojos had what it took to set themselves apart: a bulletproof repertoire that showed their ability to shift effortlessly between instrumental tracks with doses of psychedelia and love songs created to withstand the passing of time.
