Los Mirlos bring five decades of Amazonian cumbia to the Howard on Friday at 8 pm, their psych-tinged guitars and jungle-born rhythms locking into a hypnotic sway. The Peruvian pioneers behind La Danza de los Mirlos helped define chicha’s surf-meets-cumbia sound, and their sets feel both archival and immediate. The dance floor tends to start moving on the first guiro scrape.
