Madre Chicha

**Madre Chicha** is a vibrant Peruvian band keeping the spirit of *chicha music* alive with a modern, psychedelic twist. Rooted in Lima's musical culture, the group blends traditional cumbia rhythms, surf rock grooves, and Andean folk influences, often using electric guitars, syncopated beats, and playful lyrics that nod to Peruvian myths and everyday life. Since forming in the early 2010s, they’ve become known for energetic live shows and albums like *Zitarrocha* and *La Venganza de Simpira*, which reimagine classic chicha sounds with a cheeky, contemporary edge. Their 2023 release *Madre Chicha 10 Años* celebrates a decade of reviving the genre, while projects like *Acústico en Polaroid* showcase stripped-down, nostalgic vibes. With tracks like *Dásela a Les Buenes* and *Viaje a Motelo Mama*, the band mixes humor, storytelling, and a deep love for Peru’s musical heritage.
