Miguel Flores’ Primitivo is as mind-blowing as they come. Recorded in 1981, Buh’s issue is its first proper release. Flores belongs to the same generation as Arturo Ruiz del Pozo, attacking many of the same cultural concerns - Peru’s sonic identity, from the other end of the spectrum. Where Pozo came from a conservatory background, Flores spent the 60’s and 70’s playing Rock and Peruvian folk music, eventually evolving toward more avant-garde gestures and concerns. It’s brilliant and incredibly engaging dichotomy. As the work evolves, it becomes harder to define – at points flirting with outright experimentation, moving between atonality, gestures familiar in Free-Jazz, pure ambience, and drifting passages which recall New Age music.

Miguel Flores Primitivo. Drummer and t Miguel Flores played rock and Peruvian folk music before becoming fascinated by free jazz and the avant-garde scene. In 1981, he was commissioned by choreographer Luciana Proaño to create music for a dance titled Mitos y Mujeres. Flores’s album, Primitivo, was unreleased for 35 years until Buh Records put it out in 2015, and it’s not hard to hear why it failed to find a niche. The three tracks waver and wobble across a wide assortment of styles. The first track, Pachacuti, plays like a jam band with recurring aphasia

Miguel Flores – Primitivo (1981). Miguel Flores is another significant figure who, alongside Arturo Ruiz del Pozo and Manongo Mujica, shaped the Peruvian musical avant-garde of the 70s and 80s. Primitivo is an album that steps a bit further back from electroacoustic experimentalism, but does this by taking multiple paths from free jazz to folk, and guitar psychedelia. Originally a drummer who performed with various classical Peruvian bands among which were The Loop’s, Thee Image, and PAX, Flores shows himself through Primitivo to be both a composer and t. The three pieces in this album were originally composed for a dance piece by choreographer Luciana Proaño. Recorded in the 80s, these works are now being published for the first time as a part of the Sounds Essentials Collection. Primitivo takes you on a very long and intriguing journey.

Notes

BUH RECORDS IS PLEASED TO PRESENT A MASTERPIECE OF PERUVIAN AVANT GARDE MUSIC "PRIMITIVO" BY MIGUEL FLORES REISSUE LP

Miguel Flores is, alongside musicians such as Arturo Ruiz Del Pozo, Luis David Aguilar, or Manongo Mujica, one of the most important representatives of that period that spans from mid-70s to mid-80s, when experimenting musically in Peru united modern composing techniques of avant-garde music and the search of the sounds of mother land. A drummer turned into a multi instrument player, who began by playing rock from mid '60s on, with groups such as The Loop's, Thee Image, and most pointedly with PAX, iconic hard rock band of the '70s, Miguel Flores tackled Peruvian folk music by 1974 with his group Ave Acustica, which included non-conventional musical techniques into their performances. Those were times when folk music was widely promoted, as a consequence of the policies of Juan Velasco Alvarado's nationalistic policies. The appearance of the Talleres de la Canción Popular, headed by Celso Garrido Lecca, in 1974, was decisive to brood a new generation of folk and new song groups. In this environment, and after leaving PAX, Miguel Flores goes deep into his interests in folk and sound experiments as well as free jazz, his attempts to fuse what was considered could not be fused, being rejected by all sides equally. Upon his return to Lima, after an intense tour to Japan in 1980, Miguel Flores was commissioned by choreographer Luciana Proaño to write the score for her new contemporary performance Mitos Y Mujeres. Miguel Flores called Corina Bartra, Arturo De La Cruz, Manuel Miranda, and Aberlardo Oquendo to play the music which brought together folklore and psychedelia, free jazz, electronics, tribal music and ashaninka chants. A hypnotic sound stretches a bridge between ancient and avant-garde, the spirit of psychedelic rock, free jazz and pure sound experimentation. The studio recording of what was the score for Mitos Y Mujeres was kept away for more than 30 years. Now finally has its first edition on LP. This LP is part of Buh Records' Sounds Essentials Collection, curated by Luis Alvarado.
