Dengue Dengue Dengue’s latest release is named after the traditional dance called Son de los Diablos (Spanish for Sound of the Devils), which was brought over to Felipe Salmon and Rafael Pereira’s native Peru by the Spanish conquistadors, and consisted on a procession of dancers and musicians that took to the streets wearing devil masks. By enlisting Lima’s sizeable African slave population, this tradition incorporated the rhythms and dance styles that would eventually become known as Afroperuvian, one of the main elements of modern Peruvian music and culture and one that increasingly informs the music of Dengue Dengue Dengue, as was recently portrayed on RBMA’s ‘Afro-Peruvian Beats’ documentary.

This inspiration is especially noticeable on the title track Son De Los Diablos, which incorporates traditional instruments such as the cajita, but also on Buscando, where the duo recorded with members of the Ballumbrosio family, the prominent lineage of musicians and dancers widely regarded as the the premiere ambassadors of Afroperuvian music, dance and culture. As the band explains, this song was “a big step forward”, as it was the first time the duo recorded every rhythmic element with live musicians, giving the track “the flow and cadence only live musicians can achieve”, as well as a vocal sample of one of Peru’s biggest stars Lucha Reyes. The EP continues with Flootz and Cobre, where the pair further explore the unique blend of entrancing South American and African rhythms and melodies that has become their signature sound.

Dengue Dengue Dengue continue expanding their carefully created aesthetic on their new album ‘Zenit & Nadir’ by diving into the deep and rich musical history of Afro-Peruvian music, already hinted in the first single ‘Ágni’, which is the inversion of the traditional Afro-Peruvian rhythm Ingá. The ongoing exploration of the vast and rich musical heritage of the descendants of the former African slaves in Peru has become the main focus of their new album. 

Their interest in Afro-Peruvian music has led them to meet and record extensively with several members of the Ballumbrosio family, a renowned musical dynasty in Peru that has kept Afro-Peruvian musical traditions alive, masters of rhythms like landó, festejo and crioullo music, with traditional dances and instruments such as the iconic quijada - a rattling percussive instrument made out of a donkey’s jawbone. 

The introduction of live recordings with the Ballumbrosio brothers has given a whole new dimension to their always-expanding sound, and they feature extensively all throughout the album. As they were such an integral part of the recording process it made perfect sense that they would contribute to expand Dengue Dengue Dengue’s memorable audiovisual performance as well, and have began playing live shows together this year. The marriage between the traditional and organic percussion of the Ballumbrosios with DDD’s hypnotic electronic production has created a whole new chapter for the band. 

After debuting in 2012, they established themselves as a driving force in the thriving South American digital cumbia scene, but have since expanded their hybrid approach to music to introduce more references such as kuduro and zouk - and more recently the above mentioned Afro-Peruvian styles - which they fuse with traditional Latin American rhythms to build a sonic identity that is hypnotic and dark, while simultaneously festive and life-affirming. 

With the band being a visual project as much as a musical one, their carefully created aesthetic can be immediately noticed in the iconic masks they wear, often referencing traditional or indigenous elements while being artful and futuristic, a striking visual representation of their approach to music. Their new masks, which are being debuted on their upcoming tour, were handcrafted by Barcelona-based artists Twee Muizen.

‘Eso’ sees the percussive wizardry of Consulado del Ritmo in collaboration with the Venezuelan singer Gotopo. A relentless amalgamation of 160bpm djembe grooves, solid 808 kick drums, deep and sultry vocals and synth stabs feed-backing on tape create a driving blend of African percussion and footwork with a subtle touch of dub techno.
