Musical archaeologist Olivier Conan talks about the psychedelic sounds of Chicha. The sound emerged in the 1960s from the edge of the Amazon--a mix of Peruvian indigenous melodies, Colombian cumbia rhythms and a splash of surf rock and rock 'n' roll organ. Conan and his band Chicha Libre helped resurrect the Chicha style and take it in new directions. The band's debut album "Sonido Amazonico" is to be released in Spring of 2008.
