A bit of history from Carlito y Banditos...
Back in 2016, following the world music day (« Fête de la musique ») of their small town, the Banditos joined together to form the Carlito y Banditos band.
In 2018, after a series of 40 concerts in Drôme-Ardèche, the band released their first album « 8 sonora », a self-produced album.
In 2019, Bruno (percussion) left the band Brother left the band in 2020.
Each member of the band brings their own musical style and sensibility, from Blues to Latino, to reggae through protest songs.
Carlito y Banditos define themselves as a band « to make people dance » while rasing their awareness.
