Many of these musical ingredients combined on the 1971 album entitled 'Cocinando', in reference to the similarities between Peruvian cooking and tropical music. Lopez began his career as a singer and orchestra conductor many years earlier, when he joined the backing singers for Lucho Macedo's Sonora. After completing his police training, he adopted the stage name Martin Lopez, in order to preserve the anonymity his job required. Between 1969 and 1971 Martin Lopez y sus Estrellas recorded all the tracks comprised on this album, including salsa, guarachas, rumbas, chichas and boleros, proving their knowledge and mastery of the tropical music lexicon. It is not surprising since the orchestra was made up of the most talented label's session stars: including the double bassist Joe di Roma, singer Pablo Villanueva 'Melcochita', percussionists Niko Estrada and Coco Lagos, and trumpeter Tito Chicoma. 'Cocinando' is an epic historical treasure that captures the explosive impact of the tropical music movement on Peruvian culture.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54454275047809,"sku":"2448319","price":27.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/8435008864866.jpg?v=1751628787","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2448319","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
