About

Sol y Lluvia is a renowned Chilean band, formed in 1978 by brothers Amaro Labra (vocals, guitar) and Charles Labra (percussion, vocals). Known for their politically charged lyrics and commitment to social justice, the group has been a significant voice in the Nueva canción and Latin rock movements. Their music is deeply rooted in Chilean rock, nueva trova, and Latin folk, reflecting a blend of traditional Andean sounds and contemporary rock influences. Over the years, Sol y Lluvia's lineup has evolved, but their mission has remained steadfast: to inspire change and bring attention to social issues through their compelling musical narratives.
