Biography

Amar Azul, a cumbia band from Argentina, was formed in 1989 in Tigre. Initially known as Mar Azul, they changed their name to Amar Azul due to trademark issues and professionalized in 1993. Their debut album Mar Azul achieved moderate success, followed by the less successful 1995 Con Amor. The band's breakthrough came with the incorporation of Gonzalo Ferrer, who introduced a distinctive accordion sound. This new style was solidified with the release of Dime tú, which marked their rise to prominence. Their run of late-1990s releases established signature tracks such as “Yo tomo licor,” “Yo me enamoré,” “La vecina,” “La danza del tablón,” and “El polvito del amor,” while El campeón (2000) and Me pega (2001) expanded touring to Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, and beyond. Amar Azul gained international recognition, particularly in Chile, where they achieved double platinum status with 1998's Cumbia Nena. The 2000s mixed studio and catalog projects—Inmenso (2003), Directo al corazón (2008), and the compilation Lo mejor de lo mejor (2009)—that kept their classics circulating to new audiences. A contemporary chapter opened with Seguimos… (2020), whose tracklist included “La platita del abuelo;” the album earned back-to-back Gardel nominations for Best Tropical Group Album (2020 and 2021). In 2023, the band marked three decades with new singles—“Perfecta” and “Me gusta tomar”—and a sold-out 30th-anniversary show at Santiago de Chile’s Movistar Arena alongside guest groups. This performance was later released as the live LP En Vivo Movistar Arena, Sesión 6. In 2025, Amar Azul returned with a self-titled live session in recorded in collaboration with Chilean audiovisual project CASAPARLANTE.
