Juaneco y Su Combo

Juaneco y Su Combo is a Peruvian cumbia band formed in Pucallpa, Peru in 1966.

[1] Juaneco y Su Combo was originally founded by the amateur saxophonist Juan Wong Paredes as Juaneco y su Conjunto.

In 1969, Wong handed over control of the band to his son, Juan Wong Popolizio, who subsequently renamed it "Juaneco y su Combo".

[2][3] During the early 1970's, the band's popularity peaked, and they became one of the most innovative Peruvian cumbia bands at the time[1] and a pioneer in the jungle cumbia genre.

[4] The band's members performed in headgear made from parrot feathers and cotton tunics, similar to the Shipibo people of Peru.
