Gabriel Perez (born on November 21, 1989), known artistically as Algarri The 1, is a Puerto Rican song writer and Latin/Reggaeton/rap artist from Chicago. He was born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico and was raised in the small town of Corozal. At the age of 10 years old he moved to Chicago with his parents and his two sisters. Coming from a background of family members that liked to play instruments like the guiro, timbales, cuatro, congas, and so much more, he became interested in music at a young age. He learned how to play all those instruments while growing up. But in 2021, after posting videos of him improvising on TikTok, a lot of his previous fans kept telling him to come back. So, he decided to come back with a better artist name that suited him, “Algarii The 1”. He started working on music again and has gotten great feedback. His newest single “Bomper” is out now, and a challenge has been started on TikTok with the hashtag #algariichallenge. All of 2023 Algarii has been very busy performing for local bars and clubs all around Chicago. In February 2023, Algarii had the honor of opening the concert for Lunay at the Forge in Joliet! Algarii has also had the honor of opening for J Alvarez, Khriz y Angel, Mariah Angeliq and De La Ghetto in St. Louis, Missouri! Algarii has also done a full summer local festival tour! He has had the honor of performing at Do Division Festival, Puertorican festival and parade, Peruvian festival, Colombian festival, and Dominican festival!
