Peruvian legends Los Wembler’s de Iquitos performed live during the opening night of Le Guess Who? 2025. You can now listen to and relive the full performance via the recording below.
Creators of the Amazonian cumbia, Los Wembler’s de Iquitos have been among the pioneers of psychedelic cumbia in the ’60s - when shoemaker Solomon Sanchez decided to form a band with his five sons - bridging celebratory traditions and cutting edge innovation. Their mix of psych rock, Afro-Latin rhythms and Latin American Indigenous melodies creates an irresistible journey, lighting up the dance floor.
