Sonido Amazonico (“Amazonian Sound”) is a fascinating journey through the history of the Sánchez Casanova brothers, known as “Los fabulosos Wembler’s de Iquitos” (The Fabulous Wemblers of Iquitos, performing at Le Guess Who? 2025). Pioneers of Amazonian cumbia with a career spanning more than 55, they share their reflections and love for music against the stunning backdrop of Iquitos —a bustling, vibrant jungle city that holds the distinction of being the largest roadless city in the world and the capital of the Peruvian Amazon.
