Dengue Dengue Dengue! is an audiovisual duo from Lima, Perú. Behind the masks are Felipe
Salmon and Rafael Pereira, two producers, dj's and graphic designers. Their work focuses in
exploring native rhythms from Peru and other parts of the world, recreating them in an electronic
form, mixing the old with the new, analog and digital, to create their own unique sound and visuals.
Their musical explorations go from Psychedelic Cumbia to Dub, from Salsa to Footwork, from
Tribal to Techno, the sound and visual palette keeps growing and adding more and more flavours
to the mix.
