Pedro Tolomeo Rojas, known as Monky, enters his studio en Lima on October 21, 2025. Monky was a pioneer in the making of the posters that publicize cumbia concerts and are now considered chicha art. These colorful posters still cover the grey city of Lima and other cities advertising upcoming concerts. Some say the florescent colors were inspired by the the clothing worn by the women in the indigenous communities.

Uno de los géneros más escuchados en las Américas, los fotógrafos Karla Gachet e Iván Kashinsky documentan la cumbia en Colombia, México, Ecuador, Perú, Argentina y Estados Unidos.
