Edith continues touring today with the current incarnation of Los Destellos. Enrique continued leading the group until his untimely death in 1996 from medical malpractice.
In 1975, Delgado's sister, Edith, also joined the band, which by that point had grown to include a sprawling number of musicians and a sizable hype crew.
In this way, Los Destellos also anticipated Chicha, their seventh LP Constelación being a proto-standard of the genre. He would expound on this idea in the years that followed by taking an ever larger ensemble of folk players in a more psychedelic direction. Timbales were used to keep time in many South American musical styles, but Enrique Delgado used them to incorporate cumbia into the standard Beat ensemble, making him the fathering pioneer of cumbia Peruana. They combined the sounds of surf rock, psychedelic music with cumbia to be part of a unique sound characterizing a Peruvian cumbia strain which came to be known as chicha because of its association with working class listeners who enjoy a native brew of the same name. Los Destellos incorporated lilting Andean slum melodies into rock 'n' roll music for their self-titled debut, but the addition of a timbalero is what made them a true innovation. Los Destellos are a band of musicians from Peru.
