BARETO / バレト / CUMBIA / レコード

00年代以降、チーチャで火がついたペルー音楽を牽引した現行バンド BARETO 。
クンビアにチーチャはもちろん、ラガマフィン、ダブ、サイケと言ったジャンルを完璧に咀嚼したラテンミクスチャー・サウンドは当時の流行に完全フィット、ここ日本のラテンシーンでも大いに大歓迎された。
そしてこの度、彼らのキャリアの中で最も評価された2008年作『CUMBIA』が、10年の時を経て遂にLP化が決定。チーチャの歴史的ヒット曲 LOS MIRLOS「LA DANZA DE LOS MIRLOS」や、KAOMA「LAMBADA」などDJ的にもおいしい BARETO 流カバーを多数披露。
現在世界的に実験的なラテン・サイケデリック・サウンドが脚光を浴びつつあるが、その源流にチーチャがあり、そして本作が新たなに再評価されるのは必然とも言えるだろう。南米音楽の輪廻を感じた。ラテン鈴木

In September 2008, Bareto released Cumbia on CD, an album that conquered wider markets. The complete record, a process that began at the end of 2007, is a tribute to a fundamental group of the Amazonian psychedelic, Juaneco y Su Combo. Bareto gives a modern and original sound to its classics, such as "Mujer Hilandera" and "Ya se ha muerto mi Abuelo", among others. In the other tracks like "Soy Provinciano", "El Aguajal", and "La Danza de Los Mirlos", by another Amazonian legend, Los Mirlos, the band continues its rescue of popular cumbia music. In a country where record piracy reigns, Cumbia received first a gold record and then a platinum one for its high sales. It won also the Luces Award for the Best Peruvian Music/Fusion Album awarded by the newspaper El Comercio and the artistic award of the APDAYC as the Revelation Artist of 2008. This same entity awarded Bareto as Artist/Pop Group of 2009 and as Artist/Fusion Group of 2010. Discos Eternos present a tenth anniversary edition of the album and it's first vinyl release. Remastered from the original master. Green vinyl; gatefold sleeve
