Known as "The land of a thousand rhythms," Colombia has a vibrant collage of talent. The music of Colombia contains diverse genres, both traditional and modern; and the diversity is the result of a mixture of African, Native Indigenous, and European (especially Spanish) influences, as well as more modern American.
Some of the best known genres are cumbia, a mixture of Spanish, Native Colombian and African music, and vallenato, a genre made up of four rhythms: son, puya, merengue and paseo, but the new generation of singers, have made, with other genres, important contributions to the music in general. Some of Colombia's most internationally recognized artists include Shakira, Juanes, Fanny Lú, Carlos Vives, Naty Botero, Maía, Soraya, ChocQuibTown, J Balvin, Maluma, and many others.
According to the Colombian culture, many aspects of what they inherited, can be traced back to the early culture of Spain of the 16th century and its collision with Colombia's native civilizations. But with the motto "Libertad y Orden" (Spanish) or "Freedom and Order," on July 20, 1810, Colombian patriots protested against Spanish rules. The unhappy population took control and forced Spain government to let them have permanent independence.
Colombians celebrate their Independence Day with feasts, traditional food, parades and parties, for that reason we want to share with you a list with some the best artists of the Nation.
