Champata

Champeta is a musical style that characterizes the Caribbean coastline of Colombia. The structure of the song and arrangements are very similar to the music of West Africa (Congo, Angola and Senegal) and rely on a dominant electric guitar and a synthesizer. The general vibe is of party and of course, there is a traditional dance that accompanies the music.

A new song by Los Reyes De La Champeta (Champeta's Kings) will get your hips going immidiatly.

"El ñeque", is the name of a local rum and Los Reyes De La Champeta dedicates a whole song to it, making it gracefully the new star of the dance floor.

A song that boosts up every party. I guarantee.

For those who want to master the basic movements here, none other than Shakira, who's giving a YouTube expedited dance course:
