Widely recognized in their home country for their progressive mix of rock and chicha music, Los Mojarras are an alternative rock band from Lima, Peru. Formed in 1990 in the district of El Agustino, the band consists of singer Hernán "Cachuca" Condori, guitarist Ricardo Centeno, bassist Oscar Rivera, drummer Ismael Carhuanina, and percussionist Jorge Bravo. Los Mojarras burst onto the scene in 1992 with their studio debut Sarita Colonia, which introduced audiences to their eclectic sound while tackling on subjects like internal migration and the marginalization of Andean communities. Featuring the song "Triciclo Perú," a track that would eventually become a staple of Peruvian rock, their sophomore effort Ruidos de la Ciudad came out in 1994. During this time, Los Mojarras produced original music for several films and TV series including Augusto Tamayo's Anda, Corre y Vuela, Los de Arriba y los de Abajo, Los Choches, and Tribus de la Calle. In 1996, the band released their third LP Opera Salvaje Para Tribus Urbanas, which included the soon-to-be classic "Reconciliación." The band embarked on their first handful of international tours shortly after, playing shows throughout Germany and France. Todos Contra la Pared y Tour Perrada, their fourth and fifth album, saw the light in 1998. That year, Los Mojarras recorded music for María Elena Moyano's award-winning film, Coraje. The band continued expanding their repertoire during the next few years, releasing well-received albums such as Música Urbana Maldita (2007), Rock Urbano (2011), 1992-2012 (2012), and Esto Es Guerra de Titanes (2015).
