About Me

We are JIBARO. I’m sure you’re asking yourselves, what is JIBARO? Well it’s not just band, it is a way of life. According to tradition, JIBARO (pronounced he-var-o) is a rural inhabitant of Puerto Rico (mountain man) as well as the country music of Puerto Rico. The music of JIBARO, the band, infuses the classic and traditional country music of Puerto Rico, and other Latin countries, with a modern mix of Reggaeton and Carribean beats. The band encorporates the sounds as well as the philosophy and sensual spirit that is Latin music now and then.
