SHUSHUPE (Ursula Talavera) DJ y productora, exponente de la fusión de música folklórica con beats electrónicos. "From forest engineering to electronic cumbia beats, Shushupe has been turning up the heat in Lima's underground scene and parties since 2005. Her pioneering vision took years for the folkloric sounds of the deep Peruvian Jungle to create a menagerie of powerful and exotic music. Her expeditions to the Amazon led her to a world of ancient Peruvian cumbia and horror at the sight of The Bushmaster, the most venomous pit viper in the jungle, known by the elders as the Shushupe. That's where Ursula gets her stage name and lives up to it as an exotic force of nature, dwelling among magical and colorful rhythms."
