Perotá Chingó Itinerant voices of raw beauty andmagnetic simplicity

None of this was planned… but a chancemeeting, a hitch-hike trip and a viral videoclip later, Lola Aguirre and Julia Ortizfound themselves fronting a band with fansalready numbering hundreds of thousands.Since that seminal summer of 2011 PerotáChingó have toured all over Latin America,and more recently Europe in a camper van,mobilising audiences everywhere they gosimply by using the power of socialnetworking. They’ll play anywhere they areinvited to: living rooms, city streets, parksand theatres; an impressive youTube trailseems to track their every appearance.

Their repertoire picks up inspiration fromtheir travels: original songs appearalongside chacareras, sambas, reggae, andmuch in-between, all transformed by theirfree-spirited signature style. Everythingrevolves around the two voices; singing inharmony or unison, or meandering off trackto find each other again, they create a richpalette of sound colour, while guitar andpercussion accompany with minimal,careful arrangements. The result is music ofraw beauty and magnetic simplicity –strangely addictive it is too.
