Editing Peruvian rock (section)

=== 1970s ===
After the military coup in October 1968, rock music was branded an alienating phenomenon by the government of General [[Juan Velasco Alvarado]]. There was a ban of concerts in key venues including a highly anticipated [[Carlos Santana]] concert in 1971.  However, some AM radio stations continued to play rock music (such as Radio Miraflores, Radio 1160, and Radio Atalaya).  Also, record companies continued to release LPs of rock bands (such as Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix) in Peru.  The movie ''[[Woodstock (film)|Woodstock]]'' was shown in Lima every two or three years.  Moreover, some bands left their mark, such as [[El Polen]], [[Traffic Sound]], [[Pax (band)|Pax]], [[We All Together]], [[Telegraph Avenue (band)|Telegraph Avenue]], [[Black Sugar]], [[Crossroads (band)|Crossroads]], [[Tripping Foxters]], [[Red Amber]] (the first Peruvian progressive rock band), and [[Frágil (band)|Fragil]] (in the late 1970s). In the late 1970s, the band [[Breeze (band)|Breeze]] with Roxana Valdivieso released a self-titled album with English lyrics.

Peruvian rock descended into its most obscure era during the mid-1970s, losing the momentum it had laboriously gained.   [[Disco]] and [[Salsa music|salsa]] dominated the airwaves for the remainder of the decade.  Some rock musicians became jazz musicians, such as guitarist [[Richie Zellon]].
