Between 1984 and 1995, three PUCP literature students formed a band called Benito Lacosta. Unintentional members of the so-called "underground rock" generation, they performed relatively frequently at the No Helden club in downtown Lima and at some festivals of the time. Their sound differed markedly from the punk aesthetic that predominated among their generational peers for two reasons: the lack of distortion in their sound and the appropriation of poems by Jorge Eduardo Eielson as the sole source of their lyrics.
