Background notes
Archive material and source history
Wataka formed in 2006 around producer and musician Juan Carlos Fernández. The band's name comes from the Quechua word for 'messenger.' Their original lineup included Fernández on vocals and bass, Mauro Pérez on guitar, Richard Flores on drums, and David Calderón on keyboard and accordion.
Their self-titled debut album arrived in 2007, and the track 'Qué Quieres de Mí' became an immediate hit in Peru. The song helped define their approach, which mixed traditional cumbia rhythms with rock and Andean folk elements.
They followed with albums like 'Amanecer' in 2009, 'Para Siempre' in 2012, and 'El Mundo de Wataka' in 2016. The group toured across Latin America, Europe, and the United States, building an audience for their updated take on Peruvian cumbia.
