Kopoet

About

From the sun-drenched streets of Medellin emerges Kopoet, a sonic architect weaving tapestries of reggaeton, dembow, and Afrobeat into something uniquely, compellingly his own. Forget the predictable club bangers; Kopoet crafts soundscapes that are both intimate and explosive, a testament to the diverse rhythms pulsating through the city's veins. His early releases gained traction on local sound systems, but it was his 2021 track "La Calle" that catapulted him into the spotlight, its infectious energy resonating far beyond Colombia. Kopoet’s music avoids simple formulas. He incorporates complex layering of percussion, subtle melodic hooks, and a lyrical dexterity that speaks to both personal experiences and the socio-political realities of his environment. He sidesteps the machismo often prevalent in the genre, choosing instead to explore themes of community, resilience, and the raw beauty of everyday life. Collaborations with artists like Blessed (on “Monumento”) showcase his ability to elevate a track while staying true to his own vision. He's more than a reggaetonero; he's a storyteller, using rhythm as his primary language. Currently, Kopoet is reportedly working on a new EP, experimenting with further fusions and solidifying his position as a leading voice in Latin American urban music.
