Chofer was the stage name used by Argentine singer Gonzalo Aladino Barbero (also credited as Gonzalo Barbero), a cumbia vocalist from Lincoln, Buenos Aires Province, who first surfaced with early singles including “No me conoce” (2024) and “Guachita Preferida” (2024). In 2025 he deepened his partnership with producer Nico Valdi, releasing “Prohibido” (2025) and then shifting into a more collaborative run tied to his on-record pairing with Lucas Romagnano Hidalgo (El Lobo), sometimes billed together as Chofer y Lobo. That period centered on singles like “Típica Argentina” (2025) and “Ay Lobo” (2025), followed by additional Valdi-assisted releases including “Cuarentona” (2025), “Escopeta” (2025), and “Infieles” (2025), keeping his catalog anchored in straight-ahead, hook-first cumbia built for choruses and call-and-response vocals. In early 2026, he appeared on the multi-song “Tipica Argentina / Amante y Marido / Cuarentona / Infieles” featuring Migrantes alongside Nico Valdi, El Lobo, and Lauta, extending that same circle of collaborators into a new release cycle.
