Los Wembler's de Iquitos are a pivotal band in the rich tapestry of Peruvian music, renowned for pioneering the fusion genre known as Cumbia Amazónica or Amazonian Cumbia. Originating from the heart of the Peruvian Amazon in the city of Iquitos, the group was formed in the late 1960s by the Sánchez family. The brothers—Carlos, Salomón, Juan, Fernando, and Wilindoro—incorporated traditional rhythms of their homeland with the psychedelic sounds permeating the era, creating an entirely new and vibrant sound.

Their music, characterized by the mesmerizing twang of electric guitars, the steady pulse of percussion, and the infusion of regional folk elements, quickly became the soundtrack for a generation. As the creators of the Amazonian Cumbia, they have released a multitude of albums that celebrate the lush, vibrant energy of the Amazon and its culture. Los Wembler's enjoy a renewed popularity as new generations and global listeners have discovered their music, leading to international tours and collaborations. Recent releases like "Visión del Ayahuasca" and "Íkaro del Amor" exemplify their enduring influence and innovation, while "La Danza del Petrolero" remains a testament to their rhythmic legacy. With "Creadores de la Cumbia Amazónica," Los Wembler's de Iquitos cement their status as cultural icons and living legends in the ever-evolving world of Latin American music.
