Colectro

**Colectro** is a vibrant Colombian collective known for electrifying traditional rhythms with a modern twist. Hailing from Medellín, this crew fuses cumbia, champeta, and Afro-Caribbean beats with pulsing electronic textures, creating a genre-defying sound they cheekily call "digital folklore." Their tracks, like the hypnotic "Tambora Ácida y Maquiavélica" or the cheeky "Malalengua," blend accordion riffs, psychedelic synths, and socially conscious lyrics, often nodding to Colombia’s street culture and political undercurrents. Live shows are their signature—think carnival energy meets DIY rave, complete with guerrilla-style performances in unexpected public spaces.

Recent releases like *Sexteto (Sesión en Vivo)* and *Leslie (Sistema Correo de Voz)* showcase their collaborative spirit, often teaming up with local artists and collectives. While they keep personal details low-key, their music shouts rebellion and joy in equal measure, making them fixtures in Latin America’s alternative electronic scene. Keep an ear out for their genre-smashing remixes and community-driven ethos—they’re all about turning the dancefloor into a revolution.
