Description
Aterciopelados is Colombia’s flagship rock band and one of the most influential projects in Ibero-American music. Led by Andrea Echeverri and Héctor Buitrago, the band has spent more than 30 years building a unique musical language that blends rock, Latin American rhythms and ancestral roots, shaping a powerful, critical and enduring artistic identity. With 10 studio albums, 2 live albums, 4 Latin Grammy Awards, and two Grammy Award nominations (1998 and 2026), Aterciopelados has shaped generations with songs that redefined rock in Spanish and brought Latin American alternative music to global stages. Their work combines rock energy, sonic exploration, and messages of female empowerment, environmental awareness, and social transformation. In 2025, they released Genes Rebeldes, a creative manifesto that connects the ancestral with the contemporary and reaffirms their rebellious, visionary spirit. In 2026, the band celebrates the 30th anniversary of La Pipa de la Paz with a special tour revisiting one of the most influential albums in Latin rock, confirming Aterciopelados as an essential, free, and deeply necessary band.
