Bacilos on Tour

From bright and relaxing music with a Latin flare to dynamic and energetic tracks with a full brass backing, Bacilos is a swiftly rising star in Latin pop and Latin folk. Bacilos is a Latin pop band originally from Miami, Florida, that has been making fantastic music for decades. The band's 2023 Tour is set to take them throughout the United States as well as Mexico. Live performances by Bacilos are a blast. Energetic and passionate, Bacilos blends a myriad of influences from throughout Latin America into one incredible sound. Bacilos' first album came with the independent album Madera in 1999. After signing with Warner Music, they released their self-titled album in 2000. It was nominated for two Latin Grammy awards and went Gold in Colombia. They followed with their next album, Caraluna, in 2002, winning them a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Performance and appearing on the Billboard Latin Albums chart. After that, they released the album Sin Vergüenza in 2004, which garnered them another Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Performance. The album Grandes Éxitos (2006) was, for a time, the band's final album as Bacilos disbanded after the release. After reuniting years later, Bacilos returned in 2018 with the release of the album ¿Donde Nos Quedamos? With no signs of slowing after their comeback, the band also released the album Abecedario in 2021.

    Oversold

    by Moni on 5/16/23Irving Plaza - New York

    Bacilos was great but the venue was too packed the show seemed oversold. Many people like us has to stand outside by the corridors and watch from the screens. In the upper level, people say it was really hot, it’s kind of disappointing.
