Latin Grammy-nominated Nidia Góngora is the most recognized singer from the Colombian Pacific coast. Góngora, who grew up in Timbiquí, is a champion of the Pacific coast’s Afro-Colombian cultural heritage. With her band, Canalón de Timbiquí, and as a solo artist, Góngora masterfully bridges traditional timbiquí music with global genres.
For Góngora, performing isn’t only about showcasing her talents. “I feel pride in being able to present another side of Colombia, the Pacific region, which is also Colombia and is hardly ever shown,” she says.On 2021’s Almas Conectadas, a collaboration with the English producer Quantic, Góngora fused her folkloric style with electronic music. The result was a breathtaking work that fostered intercultural dialogue — and more new collaborators.
