Background notes
Archive material and source history
El Despegue formed in Medellín, Colombia in 2008 with members Juan Fernando Aristizábal, Camilo Valencia, Andrés Restrepo, and Carlos Mario Ortiz. Their debut single 'El Flogger' became an instant sensation, launching the band's career.
Their music blended cumbia, reggaeton, and hip-hop with lyrics that addressed social issues like poverty and violence. This approach sparked debates about Latin American society while songs like 'Encararte' and 'Sube Sube' found audiences.
They released albums including 'La Calle Lo Pide' in 2010, 'El Otro Lado' in 2012, and 'Historias de la Calle' in 2015. Their outspoken lyrics sometimes drew criticism from conservative groups and led to legal challenges.
