Peruvian label Buh Records has been on a roll in recent years, releasing several works by outstanding contemporary artists and rediscovering previously lost or obscure talents, such as the remarkable retrospectives by Oksana Linde and Cergio Prudencio. Their latest release, Tránsitos Sónicos: Musica Electronica Y Para Cinta De Compositores Peruanos (1964-1984), which translates to Sonic Transits – Electronic and Tape Music by Peruvian Composers, is a fantastic offering that showcases the astonishing quality of the music and the immense love and care that went into its production. While fans of the label may recognize artists like Edgar Valcárcel and Luis David Aguilar from previous Buh releases, this compilation serves as an excellent introduction to the world of early experimental Peruvian music. The compositions, mostly falling under the category of musique concrète, are all distinctive and offer a fascinating glimpse into the early development of South American electronic music.
