Peruvian Psychedelic Cumbia, Salsa, Boogaloo and beyond with Infopesa

Copyright restrictions pose a challenge for our channel. YouTube automatically monetizes the songs in this mix, directing ad revenue to copyright owners. This means we can’t control the ads or their frequency. As a result, 99.9% of MAJ’s yearly viewership generates no income for us due to copyrighted music. MAJ’s mission is to share high-quality vinyl-only mixes. To continue, we need support to maintain our studio and cover expenses. Please consider supporting us on Patreon. Infopesa, founded in 1971 by Alberto Maraví, is home to some of Peru’s most influential recordings. Relaunched in 2011 by Juan Ricardo Maraví, the label’s catalog—along with its vinyl reissue releases—has gained worldwide recognition and inspired Infopesa’s Vinyl Mix Sessions, taking classic Peruvian sounds to global dance floors, including this year’s return to London. This selection has one purpose: to make people move. It weaves together some of my favorite gems from the Infopesa catalog—each one produced by my dad—turning this mix into a personal journey through Peruvian sounds and the rhythms that connect us to places like Brazil.
