LP version. Includes download card. Praised as heirs of Amazonic psychedelia and chicha traditions, as well as sound innovators, Peruvian band Bareto mix exciting versions of cumbia classics with their own, unique compositions, in concerts that should be promoted as dance parties. Bareto were performers at Womex 2016, have toured Europe and North America, including Roskilde Festival 2015 and Montreal Jazz Festival 2017, among others. Recorded just before the Covid pandemic between Lima and Bogotá, El Amor No Es Para Los Débiles is Bareto's second effort with Colombian producer Felipe Álvarez. The album marks the debut of singer Javier Arias in duets with some renown Peruvian figures such as creole diva Bartola and techno cumbia queen Rossy War. The album also features sonero and comedian Melcochita and a bunch of Colombian guests, including singer María del Rosario Cardona and percussionist Chongo. The first single is "Tu Recuerdo", a song that mixes cumbia with an Andean flavor. Both their last two records of original material, Ves Lo Quequieres Ver (You See What You Want To See, 2013) and Impredecible (Impredictable, 2015), have been nominated for the Latin Grammy Awards. Line-up: Rolo Gallardo -- guitar, background vocals; Pedro Rodríguez -- guitar; Jorge Giraldo -- bass, background vocals; Jorge Olazo -- percussion; Sergio Sarria -- drums; Raffo Carlos -- keys, background vocals; Javier Arias - lead vocals.
