Alonso Almenara - Precariousness and Globalization: The Sounds of the Lima Underground Scene (Bonus Talk)

from Radical Archaeologies: Unearthing Lima​’​s Sonic and Poetic Landscapes by Ale Hop

/

about

Alejandra Cárdenas and Luis Alvarado, two of the most prominent figures of the Lima underground music scene, join Peruvian journalist Alonso Almenara in a discussion about the current state of experimental music-making in the Peruvian capital. Luis is a curator, a musician, and the director of the Lima-based record label Buh Records. Better known as Ale Hop, Cárdenas is an experimental musician currently living in Germany; her latest album, Agua Dulce (a collaboration with the cajonera Laura Robles) has received critical acclaim. Together, they discuss recent developments in Lima’s musical life, such as the creation of the collectives Deshumanización (which brings together experimental and free improv musicians) and Retama (a collective of women composers). They also look at the role of the trans community in these events, and the activities of music labels such as Buh Records, and of spaces such as Fundación Telefónica, Casa Bagre, and Proyecto AMIL. Finally, our guests reflect on the international connections of this scene, as well as its limitations in terms of financial autonomy and government support.
