Código is a Bachata band based in London, United Kingdom. Previously known as ‘Clave Musical’, the band was founded in 2013 by Santiago, José, Dario and Andres. During that period Clave Musical was formed mainly for the purpose of socialising between friends by sharing the art of music together. The Bachata band renamed their group to Código in 2016 for the drive to formally establish a committed Bachata group that will take the hobby towards a professional daily occupation. Hence today Código has an additional member Bernardo, who is the bass player of the group.
Código’s members play an important role to maintain the group’s structure. Santiago (Ecuadorian) is the lead singer, song writer, composer and second guitarist. José (Bolivian) is the lead guitarist, musical director and backing vocalist. Bernardo (Brazilian) is the bass player. Dario (Spanish with Ecuadorian background) plays ‘bongos’ and runs the social media management. Andres (Ecuadorian) is percussionist ‘La Güira’.
