Acontramano is an energetic and impassioned Uruguayan murga group that has made a significant mark on the South American music scene, particularly in the realm of traditional Uruguayan carnival music. Known for their vibrant and theatrical performances, Acontramano combines political satire with catchy rhythms, embodying the true spirit of the murga, which is a form of popular musical theatre performed during the Carnival period. The troupe is widely recognized for their sharp social commentary that is neatly wrapped in layers of humor, elaborate costumes, and powerful choruses.

Their most recent releases echo the group's commitment to the festive and communal aspects of their musical genre. With lively tracks such as "En La Familia... Problemas Tenemos Todos" and "Todo el Año Es Carnaval," they celebrate the ubiquity of Carnival's joy and the shared experiences of everyday life. The live recordings "El Club del Sur (En Vivo)" and "La Familia - En Vivo" capture the raw, communal joy of their performances, bringing the listener right into the heart of the revelry. "Salu Rodriguez" and "Viva los Novios - En Vivo" continue this tradition of immersive and celebratory experiences, while "Problemas Tenemos Todos" is a testament to their connecting thread of finding unity in the common issues that people face. Through their work, Acontramano not only preserves the rich tradition of murga but also reflects the voice and sentiment of contemporary Uruguayan culture.
