32 Paños formed in Cartagena, Colombia around 2012. The group includes vocalist Dany Daniel, guitarist John Jairo Palacios, bassist Roberto Verbel, drummer Jhon Jairo "Tico" Martínez, and percussionist Sergio "Checho" Méndez. Their sound works with traditional Colombian cumbia and modern rhythms.
Their 2013 track "Loco Patadita" became a hit that reached international listeners. They followed with albums like La Cumbia Moderna in 2015 and El Tren de la Alegría in 2018. Some traditional cumbia listeners have questioned their approach to the genre.
They've worked with other artists including Fonseca, Juanes, and Major Lazer. Their music has found audiences outside Colombia while keeping roots in cumbia forms.
