About
ChocQuibTown, a Colombian hip-hop group, was showcased at the Tiny Desk Meets AFROPUNK event as part of AFROPUNK's "Black Spring" festival. The trio, comprised of siblings Miguel "Slow" Martinez and Gloria "Goyo" Martinez, along with Carlos "Tostao" Valencia, brought a unique blend of Afro-Latin jazz and hip-hop to the virtual stage. The concert featured high-energy performances, including their popular song "De Donde Vengo Yo," which won a Latin Grammy in 2011. Originating from the Colombian department of Chocó, ChocQuibTown's music combines traditional Colombian genres with modern influences like hip-hop and electronica. The group's journey from their neglected corner of Colombia's culture to international success was showcased, highlighting their distinctive sound that captures the spirit of their Afro-Latin roots.
