Champeta
Afro-Colombian music born in Cartagena and Barranquilla: bright guitars, heavy percussion and “picó” sound systems. Pure Caribbean energy for a dance floor.
Afrobeat & dancehall
African and Jamaican rhythms with a Colombian twist, ideal for cocktails, rooftops and after parties.
Urban & reggaeton
The sound that took Colombian artists such as J Balvin (Medellín) and Beéle (Barranquilla) around the world, played live for your team.
Mentions of other artists describe the genre landscape only; our acts are independent and not affiliated with them.

Frequently asked questions
What live music can I book for a festival, wedding or corporate event in Colombia?
Two acts so far: El Rocha Original, an urban-Caribbean artist (champeta, afrobeat, dancehall, reggaeton) as a DJ set, a champeta band or a full live band; and Capital Kandela, a tropical orchestra from Bogotá (salsa, merengue, champeta, afrobeat, pop) as a full band, trio, DJ party or custom format. New artists are added over time, and we can build a custom lineup on request.
Can you bring a show to cities other than Cartagena?
Yes. We produce shows in Cartagena, Barranquilla, Santa Marta, Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, the Coffee Region and other cities. Availability, travel and production depend on the artist, venue and date.
What is champeta?
Champeta is an Afro-Colombian genre born in Cartagena and Barranquilla, built on electric guitar riffs and heavy percussion and played on “picó” sound systems. Its urban version blends reggae, hip hop, dancehall and electronic sounds.
Do you also organize transfers, tours or accommodation for the group?
Yes. Holidays in Colombia is a licensed travel agency (RNT 74577), so the show can be bundled with city tours, boats, transfers and stays in one proposal. Our tours do not include a performance unless you request a joint proposal.
How much does it cost?
We do not publish rates. Each show is quoted by artist, format, city, date and production needs. Send the details and we reply with a proposal.
