Champeta

Champeta is an energetic and vibrant music genre that originated in the Caribbean coast of Colombia, particularly in the city of Cartagena, blending African rhythms, Colombian folk music, and elements of dancehall and soca. Characterized by its infectious beats, percolating percussion, and repetitive, catchy guitar riffs, champeta often features vocals with a distinct, rhythmic delivery that tells stories of daily life, both its struggles and celebrations. Its dance is equally dynamic, with hip-swaying movements and agile footwork. The genre, which began as a form of expression for marginalized communities, has grown in popularity and recognition, becoming a cultural symbol of Afro-Colombian identity, and artists like Kevin Florez and the Bazurto All Stars are celebrated for their contributions to the champeta sound that reverberates beyond Colombian shores.
