Líbido is a Peruvian rock band formed in 1996.

Band members are Salim Vera (vocals, guitars), Antonio Jauregui (bass), Manolo Hidalgo (lead guitar), Jeffry Fischman (drums) (1996–2005) and Ivan Mindreau (drums) (2005–present). They are winners of two Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica, in the categories: Best Artist — Southwest (2002), and Best Artist — Central (2003) and have toured all over Peru.

They released their self-titled album Libido in 1998. It included hit singles like "Como un perro" and "Sed". Líbido started touring all over the country. As a result of the success of its first album, the group began to play at Peru's premier venues; meanwhile, their music began to be noticed by North American radio stations with Spanish rock programming, in specialized magazines, and on music web sites.

In 2000, the band took a break from touring to record their second album titled Hembra. It was produced by Tweety González and mixed by Doug Trantow, and was recorded in Buenos Aires and Los Angeles. This album marked the beginning of Líbido's working relationship with Sony Music, which helped reinforce its presence in the Peruvian market; the market had already been struck by a high level of piracy. The album became number 1 in Peru and the single 'En esta habitación'.. With this album they achieved two #1 hits in the rankings of local radio stations with the singles 'Tres' and 'En esta habitación'. The music videos for the singles were directed by Juan Pablo Olivares y Picky Talarico, respectively.
