Juaneco y Su Combo is a Peruvian cumbia band formed in Pucallpa, Peru in 1966.[1]
History
[edit]Juaneco y Su Combo was originally founded by the amateur saxophonist Juan Wong Paredes as Juaneco y su Conjunto. In 1969, Wong handed over control of the band to his son, Juan Wong Popolizio, who subsequently renamed it "Juaneco y su Combo".[2][3] During the early 1970's, the band's popularity peaked, and they became one of the most innovative Peruvian cumbia bands at the time[1] and a pioneer in the jungle cumbia genre.[4] The band's members performed in headgear made from parrot feathers and cotton tunics, similar to the Shipibo people of Peru. In 1977, five of the band's members died in a plane crash.[5]
