    Fajardo Stars Perform at the 2002 Waswantu Pumpin Contest

    On August 14, 1985, an army patrol entered the town of Accomarca, Peru, and killed 62 residents suspected of collaborating with Maoist insurgents.

Recorded February 20, 2002, at the Waswantu Pumpin Contest. Recorded by Jonathan Ritter. Courtesy of Jonathan Ritter.
