Saln Dad was a Peruvian post-punk band made up of Tmira Bassallo, Jaime de Lama and Juan Huamn Hoover, active in the Lima underground movement of the 80s, known as Rock subterrneo. They left no official recordings. But at the end of 1986, they did record a 4-track rehearsal which began to circulate as an unofficial demo, becoming a classic of the period. Ensayo 1986 (“Rehearsal 1986”) is now published for the first time in vinyl format.

Presented as a pink 7-inch EP, this new addition to our Essential Sounds collection is a companion to the Saln Dad / Col Corazn LP Saln Dad / Col Corazn – Lo que no existe, existe: Registros de una saga post-punk en el Per (1986-1990), which collects live recordings.
