Founded by the talented duo of Lebaman (bass/vocals) and Alexandre Stry (guitar/vocals), the band has continued to push musical boundaries, leaving an indelible mark on the industry.
Their musical journey took a significant stride in 2005 with the release of their debut album in Spanish, "Lejos de Casa," under the esteemed labels Fabrika / Sony BMG Music.

PRATO's music videos received widespread acclaim, airing on MTVes and other prominent music channels.
With an impressive portfolio of over 500 concerts, PRATO has graced esteemed venues such as the Viper Room in Los Angeles, Billboard Live in Miami, and the thrilling festivities of Latin Grammy parties. Their prowess extends to international festivals, where they have shared stages with renowned icons of the Reggae and World Music genres. The band has performed alongside luminaries such as Jack Johnson, The Killers, The Chainsmokers, Ziggy Marley, 311, Paralamas do Sucesso, Natiruts, Bacilos, and many more, cementing their position among the musical elite.
