Now the indigenous people were used to Zamfiresque pan pipes and and other musical instruments that went back thousands of years and didn’t have easy access to electric guitars and basses, but that didn’t stop them from making the best with what they could get, and thus Chicha was born. The nachos at Val’s Restaurant are kind of like that.
