Bacilos is a latin pop duo currently consisting of Jorge Villamizar and André Lopes. They have released 7 albums and 2 EPs. Their album Caraluna (2002) won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album, and their album Sin Vergüenza (2004) was nominated in 2005 for the same award. They have achieved success with singles "Mi Primer Millón" and "Caraluna".
The band's name was originally Bacilos Búlgaros, a literal translation of bacilli, named after a home remedy touted by Villamizar's grandmother. It is also a play on the Spanish language word "vacilón," meaning a fun, good time.
