Colombia siempre ha sido potencia en innovaci n musical! Desde la revoluci n del reggaet n en Medell n, pasando por las escenas indie y rockeras en Bogot , y el legado salsero de Cali, los artistas del pa s han moldeado el sonido de la regi n. Hoy, la mirada se posa sobre la Costa Caribe colombiana, impulsada por una nueva generaci n de talentos que est n reclamando su espacio con orgullo, creatividad y ambici n global.
Con ciudades como Cartagena, Barranquilla, Santa Marta y Valledupar, el Caribe colombiano es un territorio profundamente cultural. Aqu nacieron joyas como el vallenato-con sus historias y el inconfundible acorde n-y la champeta, ese ritmo afrocolombiano nacido en Cartagena que mezcla influencias africanas con percusiones caribe as. Muchos de los artistas actuales comenzaron precisamente en la champeta, un g nero que sigue marcando el pulso de su m sica. Sin embargo, sus sonidos est n en evoluci n, y hoy integran elementos del Afrobeats, el reggaet n, el pop y otras propuestas experimentales.
Y ojo con los Afrobeats, porque est n prendidos en Colombia. No solo en escuchas, tambi n en producci n local. El pa s se est volviendo referencia en este sonido, sobre todo en la costa Caribe y el Pac fico, mezclando ritmos de casa con beats africanos y creando algo nuevo que viaja m s all del mar. Para que te hagas una idea: en Spotify, las reproducciones de Afrobeats en Colombia crecieron m s de un 580% desde 2022. Eso habla de una conexi n real entre g nero, fans y creadores.
Los siete artistas que est n encendiendo la Costa Hamilton
Desde Cartagena, Hamilton lidera la movida de Afrobeats en Colombia. Tiene m s de 2 millones de oyentes mensuales en Spotify y suena fino, mezclando beats elegantes con melod as coste as. Sus temas Mi Reina, A Poca Luz, y Madrid suman millones de streams, y sus colabs con Justin Quiles y Ryan Castro han llevado su m sica a otro nivel.
Aria Vega
Barranquilla le dio al mundo a ARIA VEGA, una voz que mezcla pop contempor neo con ra ces colombianas. Su sencillo Coste ita (2025) junto a DEKKO, grabado en Casa Spotify Medallo, supera 1.5M de streams. Y La ltima con Juan Duque y Kapo, ya va en 2.4M.
Luister La Voz
Cartagena tambi n tiene a Luister La Voz (Luis Carlos Cabeza De vila), con un sonido que se siente aut ntico y cercano. Parte de champeta, parte de balada rom ntica, conecta fuerte con el p blico joven. Temas como Otra Cosa (Remix) y Espacio lo han puesto varias veces en el Viral 50 Colombia.
Zaider
M s de una d cada en la m sica y Zaider sigue innovando. Empez en champeta, pero ahora combina su flow coste o con Afrobeats. Alma junto a Kapo tiene m s de 20M de streams, y trabajar con Goyo y Blessd lo ha llevado a nuevos p blicos.
Criss & Ronny
Criss & Ronny son unos gemelos cartageneros pasaron del baile al micr fono, y se nota: su m sica es puro movimiento. Fusionan champeta y Afrobeats con un estilo pegajoso y listo para la pista. Su hit viral El Sticker ya pas los 12M de reproducciones.
