Background notes
Archive material and source history
Bareto formed in Lima in 2002 with six musicians. Their 2007 album "Cumbia" brought them wider attention, mixing cumbia, chicha, and afro-Peruvian rhythms into something that felt both traditional and current. Songs like "Soy Provinciano" have that particular bounce that makes people want to move.
They've put out a handful of albums since then, including "Sodoma" in 2009 and "Candela" in 2019. The lineup has included Jhovan Tomasevich on vocals and percussion, Alfredo Linares on guitar, and Mauricio Mesones on drums. In 2018, the band drew some criticism for their involvement in a political campaign, which became a talking point around their work for a while.
Their sound is rooted in Peruvian folk traditions, but it's delivered with the energy of a modern band. They haven't chased international trends so much as refined their own take on the rhythms they grew up with.
