Editor's note

ChocQuibTown, the Afro-Colombian trio from Chocó

A group that blends Pacific coast rhythms with urban styles, from their 2009 debut onward.

If you're new to them, start with "Pa Olvidarte" or the earlier "De Donde Vengo Yo." Both give a good sense of where they're coming from.

They've built a sound that pulls from Afro-Colombian traditions of the Pacific coast, mixing those roots with contemporary beats. A track like "Pa Olvidarte" shows how they can shape a pop-friendly tune without losing that regional grounding. Their lyrics have sometimes touched on social themes, which has drawn attention over the years.

ChocQuibTown formed in 2000 with Tostao, Goyo, and Slow Mike, all from Chocó. Their debut album "Somos Pacífico" landed in 2009, featuring "De Donde Vengo Yo," and they've since put out records like "El Bombo" and "El Mismo."
