Marco Polo formed in Medellín in 2012, a Colombian band led by vocalist and songwriter Jarlan Barrera. Their music pulls from salsa, reggaeton, and hip-hop, with songs like 'Abusada' and 'Chega Vem Ni Mim' showing their rhythmic approach. Their 2017 debut album was also titled 'Abusada'.
That album's title track addressed sexual abuse and violence against women, which drew criticism from some conservative groups.
Beyond the debut, they released albums called 'Malvada' and 'La Firma'. The group includes Jarlan Barrera along with Juan Pablo Isaza on drums, Felipe Ramirez on bass, Juan David Arias on guitar, and Miguel Angel Hernandez on keyboards.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
