As with every band trying to make a name for itself in the music industry, Barú is no exception. Like any other band facing obstacles, the lack of support for the genre of Pop/Rock as compared to Reggaeton, Salsa, and Cumbia has further challenged Barú’s perseverance. With the frontman’s ability to flawlessly interpret music in both English and Spanish, the band has gained popularity. Additionally, the band has been characterized by some locales as one of the most talented bands in the Bay Area.

Barú was initially comprised of five members who were of Latin American descent. Their countries of origin, Bolivia, Argentina, and Peru, gave meaning to the acronym, Barú. Each member brings with him a style that fuses his cultural roots with his unique American experience.

Although Barú is one of the newest bands to hit the Pop/Rock scene in the bay area, the band has already begun to make itself known throughout many Latin venues. Barú’s original material touches on a number of issues such as today’s unemployment, depression, alcohol abuse, climate change and heartbreak. Barú not only offers its originality to the industry, but it does so for both English and Spanish speaking audiences, singing lyrics native to the two largest audiences in the world.

Como cual quier banda pasando por obstáculos en busca del exito, Barú no es la excepción. La falta de apoyo por el genero de Pop/Rock comparando con el de Reggaeton, Salsa, y Cumbia ha retado aun más a Barú en su lucha para triumfar. Con su habilidad de poder cantar canciones en Ingles y Español, el cantante de Baru ha crecido en popularidad. En adicion, la banda ha sido reconocida por algunos locales como las mas talentosas en el área de la bahía.

Fundado en Agosto del 2008, Barú fue compuesto por cinco integrantes de decedencia Latino Americana. Sus paises de origen, Bolivia, Argentina y Peru dieron significado al nombre de la banda. Cada integrante trae consigo un estilo que combina sus raizes culturales con su experiencia unica Norte Americana.

Aunque Barú es la banda de Pop/Rock más nueva en sonar en el area de la bahia, la banda ya empezó a dejar sus huellas musicales a través de varios locales Latinos. Las canciones propias de Barú hablan sobre temas de la vida cotidiana por ejemplo el desempleo, la depresion, el alcoholismo y la destruccion del medio ambiente, cambios climáticos y el desamor. Barú no solo ofrece su originalidad a la industria musical, sino que lo hace en Ingles y Español, cantando letras para complacer los oídos de las dos audiencias más grandes del mundo.
