For more than three decades, urban music has earned a very special place in the playlists of the global industry and, of course, its presence has become essential in music festivals where attendees dance and enjoy to the rhythm of genres such as reggaeton, rap, dance hall, trap and many others, which have influenced and are part of several generations.
In recent months, for example, concerts and festivals that bring together these types of rhythms have played a fundamental role in Colombia's economic recovery. This is why the second version of the Top Show Colombo will arrive on May 14, but this time with an Urbana edition.
This artistic proposal was created in 2021, under the idea of being a free festival that strengthens cultural exchanges between Colombia and the United States, through music and spaces provided with the same artists, so by 2022 the United States Embassy, IDARTES and the Network of Colombo American Centres, will focus their spotlights in the Media Torta with the participation of artists such as:
DawerxDamper
Duo of Caleños brothers, musical group dedicated to the exploration of urban sounds. During their 9 years in the music market as singers, musicians and composers. They have managed to connect and transmit their flow and good energy through the experiences they offer before, during and after each show.
Delfina Dib
Argentinian singer-songwriter who some will remember for her time with the electronic hip hop project, Zyderal. In 2018, the path and musical exploration led her to present us with Lotto, her first EP as a solo artist, a work that demonstrates the presence and identity of women in Latin hip hop and shows her international projection. She is currently positioned as a renowned rapper among the world of 'hip hop' and Colombian rap and especially Bogotá.
AQ the G.O.D.
His first musical album “No Better Day$ Comin'”, became a classic on the underground hip hop scene in New York. With singles like “Where I'm From”, “Better Daze” and “To My City”. In 2018, AQ became a finalist in the famous Amateur Night at The Apollo, where he plans to return in spring 2022. During the global pandemic, AQ connected virtually and quickly managed to rap for artists such as Trey Songz, Brandy, Queen Naija and Tory Lanez.
