Bareto

Bareto is a music group from Peru, known for making their own versions of classic Peruvian cumbia songs.

They play and record their own material and had been nominated for the Latin Grammy Awards for their self-penned albums "Ves lo que quieres ver" (2012) and "Impredecible" (2015).

The band’s musical explorations began with Jamaican ska and reggae, but quickly, and not giving up that original influence, Bareto then focused in Amazonian Cumbia and its psychedelic universe. Soon the experiment took shape in the studio album “Cumbia”, released in 2008, which pushed Bareto to national success, a peak never reached before by a band from the alternative circuit.

The band’s next step forward led them to become a confirmed reference of contemporary music in Perú, in which Bareto spreads went around the world during various tours. The last of the tours consisted of a month-long trip connecting 7 concerts in Canada (with their debut at the prestigious Montréal International Jazz Festival) and 12 dates among Europe, including Portugal, Spain, France, Austria, Sweden, Estonia and their first ever concert in Russia.
