First I just want to Thank You so much for taking the time to make this video... I was born in Cali Colombia but was adopted at birth and have missed out on ALL of this knowledge and culture - when I watched this - I couldn’t stop smiling and was also overwhelmed with emotion... how do you miss something you never had? Yet I MISS my Culture and People... this video has rekindled a desire and need to learn the language and plan my return to Colombia and search for my biological family... I love music and look forward to your future videos and learning how to play some of these beautiful rhythms and instruments... Thank You! ~ ray
I hope you've had the opportunity, will, and luck to get back to your roots y familia Ray. I understand exactly what you're saying. Buena suerte mi hermano 🙏
My mother and stepfather are from Colombia and I grew up listening to all this music at parties and around the house just to clean lol I have grown to realize just how much this music means to me. I believe that you as a non-Colombian did an amazing job. Even if you were Colombian, I would be very impressed with everything you brought to the table with this video. I can only imagine how much research you did because you picked excellent examples of Colombian music. Thank you for making digestible descriptions of the music and it's many regions. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
You are what I needed. We left when I was 5. I find calling to folk and then have just discovered that the rhythms I love are in the music I was born from. You brought me a bit full circle. Thank you sir.
Very complete! This is a great video for foreign people (or outsides of Colombia) to acknowledge or just grasp about the multicultural view of Colombia. This country just has, as you said, a complex background. For that reason, the languages inside Colombia, which are multiple of them, give the various types of music and cultures. I really like this video! Thank you for your hard work! Big hugs from Colombia!
my wiife she is from Colombia and when she saw this video , thinking is great job. Te quiero decir que hermoso trabajo y recorrido hicistes en mi pais de verdad fue ver todo lo que mi pais tiene y no dejo de extranar gracias por tu tiempo y hablar sobre mi tierra!!! no falto nada, tu trabajo tiene corazon.
Awesome video! excelente! Muchas gracias. I was born in Bogota. I love everything about my country. I am living in USA and I am teaching Spanish. I will be so proud to share this with them. It is very neat. You said this is your first video! You are really good! Congratulations! I can't wait to see more videos like this one!
Thank you! This was very informative. I knew a little about the diversity of Colombia, but I had no idea the musical styles were THIS diverse! Wow! I would love to visit someday.
I am from Bogota, Colombia. So, thank you for doing such a fine job of explaining how rich my country is in music. Well done, and can't wait for more! :)
Love every single part of this video! Thank you for taking the time to put all this info together and for trying to pronounce Spanish words correctly, you did a pretty good job! Next time people ask me about Colombia I'll just show them this video :)
Very well explained. However, the indigenous rhythms of the Pacific coast and other regions have had a huge influence on Colombian music as a whole. Also, the minorities that came from Europe have also had an impact such as the Jews and Gypsies. And lastly, the Middle Eastern countries such as Lebanon and Syria to name a few have also added to the great diversity of music. Not to mention the incredible impact the USA has made in Colombia since about the beginning of the 1900s. Yes, most people do not know that.
Cool video. My wife is originally from Pasto, Colombia and we've visited several times there and also Bogota. I'm also a musician (bass mainly) and I'm interested in retiring in a few years to Medellin. Hopefully get some gigs there too.
You deserve a lot of props for this. I can see the immense work and research that went into this. To be fair you did start with a juggernaut of music though so you didn’t make it easy for yourself. Excellent work!
Aber nicht nur die kolumbianische Musik ist variiert, auch die Dichtung ist es sehr. Dies hier dürfte ein Beispiel dafür sein: KOLUMBIEN In Liebe, in meinem Herzen trag dich bei mir. Was alles mir bedeutet, das lieb ich in dir. Sei es deine ganzen schönen Kumbien. Meine liebste Heimat, Kolumbien. Deine Schönheit und deine Großartigkeit. Der Vorfahren letzte Ruh, die Früchte von meiner Müh, Unser Herrn Gott, und mein Zuhaus, und, dass ja dort, meine Träume nie gingen aus. (Übersetzung aus dem Spanischen des Gedichtes: "Oración a la Patria" E.A. Vargas Cárdenas, M.D.)
Amazing! I am not a professional singer, but since i have a hobby to sing 'punjabi sufi' style, after my Marriage got broke, and i felt an urge to write a song and then sing it. It's been few months i am looking for female singer of spanish background to do this project in collaboration
Music from South Africa, Congo and west Africa are arguably the main influences of Champeta. Music from these places gained huge popularity in the 60’s and 70’s first among the large african diaspora in the caribbean coast of Colombia (Mainly Cartagena and Barranquilla) and to this day is widely listened throughout the region. That Mahotella Queens’ song, Awuthule Kancane, for example is a staple in every festival, carnival, party or celebration in that region. All these rhythms from various places in Africa were known as “Terapia” music. Remember that Waka Waka song from Shakira Which was basically a cover of Zamina Mina (Zangalewa)? Shakira knew this song from growing up in Barranquilla in the Caribbean Coast where it is also immensely popular. Around the 80’s and 90’s some music bands in that region started taking the tracks of these popular african songs and added their own lyrics in spanish and the “Terapia Criolla” (Creole Terapia) was born. Fast forward a few years and Terapia Criolla gives way to Champeta which involves original tracks but preserving the african base and lyrics in spanish. Hope this answers the question and yes the Mahotella Queens shouldn’t have been referenced as colombian music.
You have to make difference between what is colombian and what is not: salsa is not colombian, also champeta is provably not colombian, those are adopted. Colombians don't consider San Andrés to be a cultural part of Colombia. They just were forced to be called colombians bc. of politics. I think many sanandresanos are not glad to be part of this country. They are actually much more related to Jamaica, they have an english background and language. We Colombians accept them as colombians, but also recignize and respect their differences.

Great job. Thank you
Amazing! I am not a professional singer, but since i have a hobby to sing 'punjabi sufi' style, after my Marriage got broke, and i felt an urge to write a song and then sing it.

At 3:46 there is a clip with Mahotella Queens from South Africa. What is their connection to Columbia and Columbian Music?

thank you very much , i love it. :(

Qué bonita es esta vida is actually a cover of a mexican song.
You forgot about carranga. :(
español? hola
es raro ver un video de estos para tu tarea en el colegio bilingüe en Colombia
Pastor López does sing cumbia but he's from Venezuela
Y el joropo es solo de Venezuela ellos recien imitan nuestra cultura
sorry the bohemian what? - a very confused czech person who's never heard that word before
This is an introduction to Colombia, NOT Colombian Music.
I don't think Cali is pacific. Even though afros make maybe even 50 percent, most of them are valluno afro, not from the Pacific.
You have to make difference between what is colombian and what is not: salsa is not colombian, also champeta is provably not colombian, those are adopted.

Joropo is from Venezuela 100%
No
El joropo es musica y folklor de Venezuela no es colombiano respeten origenes
Hace parte de los dos países, igual que las arepas Colombia y Venezuela tienen similitud desde su origen como un solo país: la gran Colombia.
