Miguel Flores – Primitivo – LP

Buh Records

Buh Records presensts a masterpiece of peruvian avant-garde music, “Primitivo“, by Miguel Flores!

Miguel Flores is, alongside musicians such as Arturo Ruiz Del Pozo, Luis David Aguilar, or Manongo Mujica, one of the most important representatives of that period that spans from mid-70s to mid-80s, when experimenting musically in Peru united modern composing techniques of avant-garde music and the search of the sounds of mother land.

Upon his return to Lima, after an intense tour to Japan in 1980, Miguel Flores was commissioned by choreographer Luciana Proaño to write the score for her new contemporary performance Mitos Y Mujeres. Miguel Flores called Corina Bartra, Arturo De La Cruz, Manuel Miranda, and Aberlardo Oquendo to play the music which brought together folklore and psychedelia, free jazz, electronics, tribal music and ashaninka chants. A hypnotic sound stretches a bridge between ancient and avant-garde, the spirit of psychedelic rock, free jazz and pure sound experimentation. The studio recording of what was the score for “Mitos Y Mujeres” was kept away for more than 30 years. Now finally has its first edition on LP.

This LP is part of Buh Records‘ Sounds Essentials Collection, curated by Luis Alvarado.
