COSMOS Embassy: Lima, Peru

In partnership with Buh Records
Buh Records is a record label based in Lima-Peru, founded in 2004 by Luis Alvarado. Focused on a wide universe of experimental and unconventional music, with outstanding work in the historical archive of Peruvian and Latin American experimental and avant-garde music, attracting the attention of various international media.
This video documentary portrays the current moment of the underground experimental scene in Lima, which has undergone a resurgence after a long confinement due to the pandemic, all against the backdrop of a political crisis that has not yet been resolved. The film captures multiple shows at alternative DIY spaces (basements, houses) where sound experimentation and electronic parties come together. These formations of associations and collaborative economies have allowed for the emergence of many artistic collectives. If anything, this scene is defined by its eclecticism and a coexistence of genres, which has allowed for a great deal of flexibility.
In the documentary, you’ll see performances and interviews with various artists and managers, reflecting on the current moment and different forms of self-management that have been recently developing. Among the featured artists are Mauricio Moquillaza, Necrosante, Carlycore, Maje Maury, Suma, Árbol, Tete Leguía, Dj Saló, Habo, Canto Villano, Karen Chalco, Macri Cáceres, Silvana Tello, MU, Kevin Salked + Gonzalo Mavila, and venues such as Casa Bagre, 1049 and El Paradero.
COSMOS - Le Guess Who?’s global music community - partners up with 8 international collectives to create documentaries about their local scene. The full films premiered during the festival, and can be watched for free online via leguesswho.com/cosmos.
