For day one of Latin America Week, which is history, I've decided to draw a 1960s Perú who is singing along to Demolición by Los Saicos!

In the 1960s rock 'n' roll was imported into Peru, and at first it was only traditional orchestras playing rock, but soon bands who where dedicated to rock 'n' roll started making their own records, singing in spanish, and upsetting conservatives!

As for the band Los Saicos, some say that they where the first punk band, they played their music from 1965 to 1966. Andrés Tapia from Respsychled Records said in a documentary I watched that Los Saicos played "songs about demolishing everything, dead people, or about fights." Which is totally punk!!!!

I think Peru has an amazing history of music, I could write a whole lot more about chicha, which is Peruvian cumbia ( a mix of surf, psychedelia, Andean music, and Afro-Carribean beats), but then this would be way too long...

Anyway, to conclude this, I'd just like to say that I think every hetalia country needs to be punk. @aph-latam-events
