Falta y Resto

Falta y Resto is an emblematic murga group from Uruguay, deeply entwined with the rich tapestry of the country's Carnival tradition, which is one of the most important cultural events in Uruguay. Formed in 1984 by Raúl Castro, the ensemble has consistently been at the forefront of innovation within the murga scene, a style of popular musical theatre performed during the Carnival period. The group's name, which translates as 'Lack and Leftover,' symbolizes the ethos of resilience and creativity that underpins their work.

Celebrated for their satirical and insightful commentary on social and political issues, Falta y Resto masterfully blend humor with poignant critique, making their performances both entertaining and thought-provoking. Their recent releases, such as "Leyendas del Carnaval" and "Despedida del Gran Tuleque (Mpu en Vivo)", showcase their ongoing commitment to the heart of Carnival and the art of live performance. With decades of experience, their music encompasses a variety of themes that resonate with a wide array of audiences. Among their rich discography, the melodic sagas like "Lo Mejor Canciones Enganchadas" demonstrate their knack for storytelling and the intricate craftsmanship of their compositions. As they continue to perform and release new material, Falta y Resto remains a pivotal force in sustaining and evolving the murga tradition in Uruguay and beyond.
