Los Gaiteros de Ovejas

Los Gaiteros de Ovejas are a folkloric collective that upholds the rich musical traditions of Colombia's Caribbean coast, specializing in the indigenous gaita music. This style of music is rooted in the rhythms and melodies that are inherent to the cultural amalgamation of African, Indigenous, and Spanish influences in Colombia. The gaita itself is a traditional wind instrument, similar to a flute, accompanied by drums and maracas, which creates a unique, lively, and poignant sound that resonates with the spirit of the region.

The group has dedicated themselves to not only preserving but also evolving the gaitero genre, infusing it with contemporary sensibilities without losing its soulful core. With recent releases like "Return," "Cómo Baila," and the emotive "Los Colores de la Montaña," they carry the torch of traditional Colombian music into the modern era. Their discography, including remixes such as "Tierra Mojá (CERO39 Remix)" and "Dolores (Vilamarea Remix)," showcases their openness to innovation and cross-genre collaborations, bridging the past and present. "Los Gaiteros de Ovejas" continue to captivate audiences both at home and abroad, securing their place as cultural ambassadors and exemplars of gaita music's enduring allure. With their album "Antología Musical," they offer a retrospective of their musical journey, affirming their legacy in the Colombian musical landscape.
