"Los Ciegos Del Barrio" are a multi genre Latin music group from New York City. They play Merengue, Bachata, Salsa, Cumbia, Reggaeton, and Rock music in both English and Spanish. The name "Los Ciegos Del Barrio" literally translates to "The Blind Boys from the Hood". The name was originally meant to be a joke, but they ended up keeping it as an ice breaker. Most of the band is legally blind hence the name of the band. They have been playing together since 1997 and have been recording albums since the year 2000.
