The Colombian Pacific coast is a forgotten paradise. Its habitants complain about the lack of attention from the rest of the country, but it might be this bit of isolation that helps them maintain their rich culture. ChocQuibTown comes from the world’s rainiest lowland, and it is there that they learned to mix African drums and Latin beats with hip-hop and funk, creating a totally new sound that’s firmly rooted in their tradition.

The Colombian music group, "Monsieur Periné," fuses such genres as jazz, pop and swing. "Mi libertad" ("My Freedom") is a single from their second album, Caja de música (Music Box), which was released in June 2015.

Check out the video for Colombian music artist, Cynthia Montaño's upbeat single, "Chontaduro."

Enjoy a live performance by Alberto Barros and other famous salsa singers. They display amazing energy and good vibes interpreting the tribute song "Cargamento Colombiano".

The old saying goes “Hijo de tigre, sale pintado”. Literally, it means the baby tiger is going to bear the same marks as his father. But it also means that there are some things we inherit and carry with us. Here, Aterciopelados is singing about leaving some inherited, violent habits behind.
