about
Miki Gonzalez, born in Spain but Peruvian at heart. He is passionate about Afro-Peruvian music and the autochthonous rhythms. At the end of the seventies he experimented with the blues and traditional music of the Peruvian coast of African roots, known as Afro-Peruvian music or simply "Afro". In the decade of the eighties, decides to begin a professional race in the popular music and forms a band; Many of its members would later become popular in the Peruvian rock scene later, such as "Pelo" Madueño, which would form La Liga del Sueño, as well as Wicho García (now vocalist of the Mar de Copas group). Miki Gonzales would take a course that oscillated between the new wave and the Peruvian music. His first Lp "Puedes ser tú" ("It Could Be You" or "It Could Happen to You Too") had been completed since 1984, but because of the existing censorship, and the album's explicit and confrontational lyrical style of addressing socio-political/security issues became a contention point for record companies, who initially passed on issuing and even, to run an initial press of it. It was nonetheless released in 1986 by CBS Discos in Peru, ranging in social topics, with its title track 'Puedes ser tu' (like "It Could be You" original name "For the Jungle") being the most quoted and acclaimed selection cut on it, with its vivid, retelling the cruel but real clash between the classes, and a grim portrayal of life and death situations created by the power structures and ties to a blind collusion
