Tribu Baharú

(2018 pick) Hailing from Bógota, Colombia, the sextet puts its own flourishes on champeta, a folk-dance genre that originated in communities of African descent throughout Colombia. Though they maintain the genre’s core of driving bass lines and groovy rhythm sections, Tribu Baharú adds their own touch and a degree of worldliness to songs such as “Baila.” Influences from all over the African musical diaspora make their way into the infectiously danceable and catchy songs.
