Zuleyca Batioja was a musical collective from Colombia's highlands, formed by Juan Esteban Aristizábal, Juan Fernando Aristizábal, and David Botero. They started playing in a small coffeehouse in Medellín, where they developed their sound before gaining wider attention.
Their song "Ahora Es Jesús" became particularly well-known, resonating with listeners through its spiritual themes. The group faced some accusations of plagiarism during their career, which they worked to address while continuing to perform and record.
Zuleyca Batioja released several albums including "Ahora Es Jesús," "Todo Es Posible," and "Más Allá del Cielo." Their music incorporated elements of Andean folk alongside rock and pop influences. Another track, "Espera Alma Mía," also appears among their notable songs.
Juan Esteban Aristizábal handled lead vocals and songwriting, while Juan Fernando Aristizábal played guitar and David Botero was the drummer. Their performances in Medellín and the surrounding region built them a following before their music reached broader audiences.
