Pomada (also known as: Grupo Pomada) is a beat band from Argentina that began in 1971 with original members:

Norberto (Beto) Dorfman on keyboards
Juan Jose Gimello (aka: Juan Jose Barbieri) on vocals
Juan Linera on guitar
Oscar Carranza on drums
Daniel Paredes

The lineup changed around in 1974 when Juan Jose left the band and Pedro Carreras joined as vocalist and on bass guitar. Pedro was their lead singer until 2004, when he went solo and Juan Manuel Uzin became the new lead singer. Beto Dorfman is the sole owner of Pomada and is their manager as he no longer performs with them.

Their most notable hits, since have been songs such as "Te quiero (aunque ya eres mia)", "Hoy chiquita que te vuelvo a ver", "Amanece y tu no estas", sung by Juan Jose; "Mi promesa", "Ojos sin luz", "Porque yo quiero", "Vestida de novia", and "Paraiso" sung by Pedro.

A new album is in the works with a probable release in mid-2007, that will include new tracks as well as remakes of their earlier hits. Pomada has a following of fans worldwide, not only in Spanish speaking countries, but English, German, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese as well.^{[citation needed]} Their original record label was RCA, which is now BMG and has released a collection of their past hits; titled: Pomada-20 secretos de amor.
