11 Bogotá Artists for Your Playlist: Morat, Fonseca, Ela Taubert & More
Happy birthday, Bogotá! Colombia’s capital was founded 486 years ago on Aug. 6. Check out some of the city's elite artists on Billboard.
Colombia, overall, is known for its rich musical culture — represented across genres by top-tier artists such as Cali’s Grupo Niche (salsa), Medellín’s Karol G (reggaetón), Montería’s Aniceto Molina (cumbia), and La Guajira’s Diomedes Díaz (vallenato). Fusing Caribbean rhythms with electronic beats, Bomba Estéreo — led by Samaria singer, artist and composer Li Saumet and musician Simón Mejía — is an alternative band with roots in the colors, fruits and sounds across Latin America. Her sweet, potent vocal range — which is both melancholy and mesmerizing — can be heard in her own original music, such as her 2019 debut single “Salto de Fe,” as well as “¿Cómo es que tú?,” and “Crecer.” Taubert has already shared the stage with Diego Torres and Alejandro Sanz, and this year won her first Premios Juventud award.
