Feels Like the First Time

Iquitos, Peru's Los Wembler’s have a long, long history. They helped launch the Chicha explosion of the 1970s. If you haven't heard of them, that's understandable. The band has never played the states. On songs such as "La Danza del Petrolero" and "Lamento del Yacuruna," the band incorporates exotic instrument and adds whistling and high-pitched yelps to the mix. The music has an undeniable energy to it and should inspire dancing when the band kicks off the Cleveland Museum of Art's Ohio City Stages tonight at 7:30. The group will perform on an outdoor stage set up outside of the Transformer Station. Vendors will be selling food and beer. Admission is free. (Jeff Niesel)
