From the host: "More than a genre, indie presented itself as an ethic: autonomy in production, independent release, and circulation outside established circuits. Between 1994 and 2005 in Lima, that mindset began to take shape locally, opening space for noise rock, indie pop, shoegaze, and a garage impulse."
