Helado Negro

Artist

Helado Negro is the music and performance work of Roberto Carlos Lange based out of Brooklyn, NY. The son of Ecuadorean immigrants, he was born in South Florida in 1980. His childhood was suffused with tropical heat, humidity, hurricanes, all refracted with the rich sounds and colors of the various Latin American cultures of southern Florida.

Lange has been recording with various projects for over ten years and has gone by the moniker, Helado Negro since 2009. The name comes from his favorite foods and dreams meaning “Black Ice Cream” in Spanish.
