The name Berrogüetto was born when the components of this artistic project met in Vigo to form and give a name to the new grouping. The name is a neologism, that has a triple origin "Berro" meaning "scream" or "shout" in Galician, "Güeto" from the word "ghetto" and, finally, "Soweto", the South African district where the fight against apartheid started. The amalgamation of these three names, of these three semantic ideas, is the word Berrogüetto, that would come to mean the shout of the ghetto - the oppressed ones. The group was disbanded in February 2014.[1]

Berrogüetto fue un grupo de música folk gallego fundado en 1996.[1][2] Sus componentes provenían, en gran parte, del desaparecido grupo Matto Congrio, en el que militaba también el gaitero Carlos Núñez. Debió su nombre a la unión del término "berro" (grito, protesta, en gallego) y gueto, con el propósito de "berrar por los silenciosos, por los que no tienen voz", en alusión al gueto del Soweto de los tiempos del apartheid.[3][4] Su primer disco, Navicularia, supuso una gran revolución dentro del panorama folk a causa de su innovador estilo donde las melodías tradicionales eran tratadas con una gran frescura, aportando interesantes armonizaciones modales y contrapuntos. A partir de este momento, cada uno de sus discos ha supuesto un nuevo avance en su forma de comprender e interpretar la música tradicional.[2]
