Baru is a German indie pop band that was founded in 2007 in Werdau, Sachsen under the name Neon Pingu pussies. In 2011, the band renamed to Baru, which refers to the pseudonym of the French comic artist Hervé Barulea. On October 25, 2013, they released their first album Sailors of the City by the label Kick the Flame. Baru clamps the feeling of wanderlust on striking melodies, shooting their musical arrows directly into the hearts of their audience.
