Jean Paul 'El Troglodita' - VuduNicknamed "El Troglodita" (The Caveman) due to his wild antics, Enrique Telleria aka Jean Paul was one of the most popular Peruvian singers during the late 60s and early 70s. "Vudu", recorded in 1972 for Discos MAG, is his second album and features the amazing band Laghonia as backing musicians.
