Warapo

--- CONTENT ---
The group "Warapo" was founded on April 1, 1998 at the Central University of Las Villas, Cuba. In the same year he received the award for "Best Amateur Grouping" at the XIV National Festival of University Artists. It belonged to the catalogue of the "Musicuba" Artistic Representations Company of the EGREM, a label under which it recorded its first "Bad Life" CD in 2004. His second record production, the "I have nothing" CDVD, was released in 2007, with the musical production by Juan A. Leyva, a renowned musician and international producer.

The "Warapo" music could be catalogued as a Latin fusion with genres influences such as Chachacha, Pop, Guaracha, Son, Rock, Cumbia, Ballenato and Regueton, on a fundamentally Cuban rhythmic basis.
The image that the group projects is young, fresh, unangry and versatile. Dance, music and performing effects are an unforgettable performance.

Currently in Panama the group continues to develop its creative work focused on the Latin and international market.
