Bareto

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.

It featured 3 original songs as a four-piece (Ombligo, Bambam, and Tarantino) and two covers, Cantaloop Island (Herbie Hancock) and Marcus Gravey (Burning Spear).

In 2012, Bareto released “ves lo que quieres ver”, an album which goes deeper into the sounds they had previously worked with, but with a stronger social component in the lyrics.
