Background notes
Archive material and source history
Los Apus formed in 1996, started by brothers Jaime and Jorge Yaipén. The band's name comes from a Quechua word meaning "sacred mountains," which nods to their Andean background. They put out albums like "Por un Amor" in 2001 and "No Debí Conocerte" in 2003.
Their song "No Debí Conocerte" became particularly well-known in Peru, with lyrics about heartbreak that connected with listeners. Other tracks like "Vengo Solterito" and "Adios Vidita de Mi Alma" also show their style, which mixes Andean folk elements with pop and rock.
In 2015, there was a legal dispute between Jaime Yaipén and a former bandmate that led to a temporary split, but the group later reunited. The current lineup includes Jaime on vocals and keyboard, Jorge on drums, Richard Cisneros on bass, Jesús Yaipén on guitar, and Julio Bermúdez on keyboards.
