Undeniably iconic, Colombian artists invite the world to groove and sing along in Spanish. Across the globe, fans are familiar with the meaning of Tusa and feeling tragados, and they frequently utter Mor. It's hardly surprising that 84% of Colombian artists' Spotify streams come from international listeners.
The distinctive sounds, spirited expressions, and dynamic personalities from this Latin American country have effortlessly become favorites worldwide, with Mexico, the U.S., and Spain leading as the top-streaming countries of Colombian artists. There's been a 206% increase in Colombian streams internationally when you compare listens from 2018 to the present. Genres like urban, pop, vallenato, m sica popular colombiana and salsa are some of the most popular.
Colombia is regarded as a beacon of culture and creativity, reaching new heights through the power of global exposure. Spotify has played a crucial role in this, enabling anyone, wherever they call home, to dance to a paisa rhythm or belt out songs with the passion of a barranquillera.
On Spotify, more than 830 million user-generated playlists feature at least one song by a Colombian artist.
Ultimately, Colombian talent-refusing to conform to a single genre-has charmed the world and proudly carries the Made in Colombia flag.

Carlos Vives
What does it mean to be Made in Colombia? It means being someone who embraces incredible diversity. The coolest part is just that: its diversity.
What do you think Colombia sounds like? It sounds like music from the heart.
Share your best Made in Colombia moment. It happened with a recent song I released called Eso es mondar. Although it's a universally relatable story, it has to do with our Hispanic America and what connects us through our language. It's definitely a very Colombian expression, especially from the coastal region.
