Who are the best Colombian female singers?
Colombia is one of those countries where it seems that music and dance are embedded in the DNA. There are many famous and current names that had their origins in the streets of the coffee-growing country.
Claudia from Colombia
The first Colombian singer to conquer international stages of the stature of Madison Square Garden. The Colombian popular music first sounded for the first time for large audiences internationally in the voice of Claudia de Colombia. The bolero was another genre in which she excelled and which earned her much recognition and fame. Here is her interpretation of "Tú me haces falta", with her melodious voice and passionate interpretation she rose to the top of the charts with this song.
Fanny Lu
The modern queen of vallenato, better known as tropipop, the name given to the fusion of traditional Colombian vallenato with other tropical genres and pop. Her career has included TV, movies and modeling, which has given her an important musical recognition. She is one of the best Colombian female singers and proves it in No te pido que me traigas flores with which she managed to get for weeks in the lists of the most listened to throughout Latin America.
Andrea Echeverri
Vocalist of what is probably the most emblematic Colombian rock band: Aterciopelados. She began her career as a soloist dedicating herself to what has always been her passion: protest songs with rhythms ranging from rock/pop to folkloric. She is one of the most important female voices of the 20th century in Latin America and her affable, yet committed character makes her everyone's favorite. We leave you with a dream collaboration: a floor for her, because she was able to be with her idol, and for us because this song is a bombshell. Enjoy Andrea Echeverri with Gustavo Cerati singing La ciudad de la furia.
Toto La Momposina
When you talk about tradition and folklore in Colombia, the first female name that pops into everyone's head is Toto La Momposina. An overwhelming personality, a voice that resounds on every stage and a heritage that gives her a musical genius that is often recognized. She has become the voice of multiple initiatives and ambassador of many organizations for her commitment to Colombian culture. Delight yourself with the wonder of her voice in the performance of Yo me llamo cumbia in England.
Karol G
The voices of the best Colombian female singers have taken the music scene by storm. Karol G is a name that never ceases to be heard on the radio, in magazines, in music streaming, she is everywhere. The talent of this paisa is sweeping in reggaeton, trap, rap and any variation of the urban genre. La bichota is the nickname by which she is known in all musical instances and she earned it with the homonymous song that we leave you below.
Maria Mulata
The updating of the folkloric genre: cumbias, bambucos, bullerengues and torbellinos -all mestizo rhythms from the coffee-growing country- are the primary influences of María Mulata. She has recently become the representative of the country brand, becoming a reference of the best of Colombian culture. Her interpretations have been appreciated all over the world and she has been on successful tours in Africa, Europe and the United States. Enjoy Mambá, a mix of the typical influences of the Colombian coast and light touches of jazz.
Adriana Lucia
She has navigated between native Colombian genres since she was very young, exploring cumbia, vallenato, tropipop and porro with great notoriety. But vallenato won the hearts of the nation and allowed her to expand throughout Latin America. She stood out as one of the few female performers to take risks in this historically male-dominated genre.
Quiero que te quedes is one of her greatest hits, and in the video below, her performance is accompanied by an extra layer as she performs it in front of Carlos Vives, the composer and one of her greatest idols.
Catalina Garcia
In the midst of a universe of pop music and danceable rhythms, Catalina García reveals herself as the bucolic voice of the Colombian indie generation. This Cali-born singer has made a name for herself for the melancholic quality of her voice, her quality compositions, and her charming musical fusions. Her talent has earned her a Latin Grammy, allowing her to collaborate with many greats in the industry. We leave you with her collaboration with the Spaniard Leiva, in a magical interpretation of the song Llegará.
Kali Uchis
Born in the United States but raised in Colombia by her family. During her adolescence she moved back to the United States where she began to work on her many creative talents. She is a designer, producer, actress and singer . In recent years, her hits have skyrocketed up the playlists, and her almost kitsch essence of music has allowed her to break into almost any genre. She is the first Colombian singer to receive a Grammy in a non-Latin category. Telepatía is the most successful and popular song in her Spanglish repertoire.
Shakira
Could there be any list of the best Colombian female singers without the very first Shakira? The most successful singer in the history of Colombia has successfully explored a myriad of musical genres, making her way onto the radio with pop, cumbia, folk or ballad songs. But, undoubtedly, her greatest talent is composition. She is the author of hundreds of songs, many of them cult lyrics for the last two generations. Each release is an unprecedented success and her fame has no limits, she has managed to star in world events such as soccer world cups and awards. It is difficult to choose just one, but we leave you with his latest hit, Por tipos como tú, with which he managed to obtain more than 100 million reproductions in just hours.
