Mar de Copas

Mar de Copas is a Peruvian alternative rock band from Lima. They emerged from the South American independent music scene of the 1990s. Mar de Copas sold over 50,000 copies of their first four albums in Peru, where an album with 5,000 copies sold is considered a "Disco de Oro" (Best-seller music award). No other Peruvian band has done the same. They are influenced by American and Spanish songwriters from the 1960s and 1980s, including music periods from La Nueva Ola and Alternative Rock.
