Since the mid-90s, Colombia’s Aterciopelados have gradually become one of the most influential and important rock-en espanol bands across the world. Formed by Grammy winning singer/guitarist Andrea Echeverri and bassist/producer Hector Buitrago, their name translates loosely to the “velvety ones.” The group’s latest Oye propels the band’s reputation as leaders in the kingdom of Latin rock.
Listen to their performance from World Music with Michael Crockett.
