Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Los Shapis, a legendary group of tropical Peruvian music, will be relaunching their first LP Los Auténticos (1981). The revival of this album, which was one of the pioneers of Andean Cumbia, will commemorate the 36th anniversary of the band led by Julio Simeón ("Chapulín el Dulce") and Jaime Moreyra and will include emblematic songs such as 'El Aguajal' and 'Como un errante'. The relaunching of Los Auténticos forms part of a project to rescue and revive Discos Horóscopo, a record label founded 40 years ago by Juan Campos Muñoz, and which boasts one of the most important catalogues of chicha music from the '70s and '80s. The label was created and can be recognized as the main driving force of Andean cumbia in Lima, as it took on producing albums of artists that gambled on not only creating a new sound, but also molding a new type of aesthetic. Formed in the city of Huancayo on February 14, 1981, Los Shapis were hailed as ambassadors of chicha when they toured throughout different countries, which gave birth to the internationalization of Peruvian cumbia in the early 1980s. Borrachito Borrachón, Mi Tallercito, Angelita, Como Un Errante, Si No Regresa, Perdidos, El Aguajal, Tu Boda, Esperanza de Amor, Volverás Mi Niñito, Mal Amigo, En la Selva
