Alerta Kamarada

About

Alerta Kamarada isn't just a band; they're a sonic revolution echoing from the streets of Bogotá, Colombia. Pioneers of "reggae conscious" in Latin America, their music pulses with a potent blend of Jamaican roots, Colombian folklore, and socially conscious lyrics. Founded in the late 90s, their gritty, DIY ethos and unwavering commitment to authentic expression quickly propelled them from underground circles to national prominence. Early tracks like "Antonia" and "Ciclo Vital" established their signature sound – a foundation of deep basslines and skanking rhythms interwoven with traditional Colombian instruments like the gaita and tiple. Their breakthrough album, "Somos Uno," cemented their place as leaders of the Latin American reggae scene. Alerta Kamarada’s music is a vibrant tapestry woven with threads of protest and hope. They tackle issues ranging from social injustice and political corruption to environmental degradation, all delivered with an infectious energy that ignites audiences. Collaborations with artists across genres, like Systema Solar and Doctor Krápula, demonstrate their commitment to cross-cultural dialogue. With a relentless touring schedule and a discography that continues to evolve, Alerta Kamarada remains a powerful voice for change and a testament to the unifying power of music. Their latest releases hint at a deepening exploration of electronic elements, signaling a new chapter in their already impressive career.
