Los Mirlos (Spanish for "the Blackbirds") is a Peruvian cumbia band with origins in Moyobamba, Peru.
The band was originally formed when some of the band's founders moved from the town of Moyobamba in Peruvian Amazonia to Lima in 1972; they were signed by the record label Infopesa the next year and would go on to release nine albums and two compilation records with the label. Their music bears influence from psychedelic and surf rock as well as cumbia, with members of the band citing the music of groups such as Los Destellos and Los Chamas as important influences. The band often emphasised their connection with the Peruvian jungle.
Some consider the music of Los Mirlos to be simply psychedelic cumbia.
The founding members of the group are:
In 2022, a documentary about the band titled Mirlo's Dance premiered at the 26th Lima Film Festival. It was commercially released on February 29, 2024, in Peruvian theaters. The documentary won the Best Documentary Feature Film at the 9th Trujillo Film Festival.
