Bareto is a Peruvian collective that has made a significant mark on the fusion of Latin American sounds with global musical trends. Their journey began in 2003 in Lima, Peru, as a group initially influenced by reggae music. Over time, however, they have become renowned for their unique blend of Peruvian cumbia with elements of ska, reggae, and other Latin rhythms, a style known informally as "chicha" or "Peruvian cumbia".

Throughout their career, Bareto has paid homage to their musical heritage while also experimenting and innovating, which is evident in their body of work that includes reinterpretations of classic Peruvian hits alongside original compositions. They have constantly evolved, releasing a number of successful albums and singles that have resonated with audiences both in Peru and internationally. Their music is known for addressing social and political themes, often with a touch of humor and wit, as reflected in songs like "Yo Uso Mascarilla", a tune about the importance of mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic. With releases like "Cumbia (10 Aniversario)" and "Ya Se Ha Muerto Mi Abuelo (Coba Soundsystem Remix)", Bareto demonstrates their commitment to keeping the Peruvian cumbia spirit alive while contributing to its ongoing evolution.
