Agua Bella is a female technocumbia music group from Peru.
Agua Bella was created in 1999 by music entrepreneur José Castillo, with the idea to merge the technocumbia music with top female voices and beauty. After castings to hire singers and dancers, the original band was composed by singers Evelyn Campos and Yolanda Medina with some non-regular dancers. Their first CD, Cariño Loco, was a success. Since then, Castillo has worked to keep the band between five and six members between singers and dancers.
In 2004, after ten CDs and hundreds of live plays and television appearances, it was announced that Agua Bella was to begin a "new generation". Most of the original members went on an international farewell tour, while the new generation performed their debut tour in Peru.
