Bacilos

About

Bacilos, the Miami-based Latin Grammy-winning trio, has carved a unique niche in the Latin music scene with their genre-defying sound and poetic storytelling. Blending tropical rhythms, pop sensibilities, and rock influences, their music is a vibrant tapestry of Caribbean warmth and urban sophistication. With hits like "Caraluna" and "Mi Primer Millón," Bacilos became synonymous with the early 2000s Latin pop explosion, offering a fresh take on love, life, and cultural identity. Formed in the late 1990s by Jorge Villamizar, André Lopes, and José Javier Freire, Bacilos rose to fame with their 2002 album *Caraluna*, which earned them a Latin Grammy for Best Pop Album by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Their lyrics, often introspective and deeply personal, resonate with a global audience, while their melodies effortlessly bridge the gap between traditional Latin sounds and contemporary pop. Beyond their chart-topping success, Bacilos has left an indelible mark on Latin music, inspiring a generation of artists to embrace cultural hybridity. Their collaborations with icons like Alejandro Sanz and their ability to craft timeless anthems have solidified their legacy. After a hiatus, the band reunited in 2017, reigniting their creative spark and releasing new music that honors their roots while exploring modern sounds. Today, Bacilos continues to tour and record, proving that their artistry remains as relevant as ever.
