There are more music styles than there are words in a dictionary I think :-) So here is the next one: Champeta Criolla. Come again? How did that happen? Well you take a small village on the Colombian coast (Palenque) where they love music and import slaves from all over Africa and sit and wait for a couple of hundreds of years.
By then all African rhythms are mixed in. Kept alive by their descendants and the world changes. So people from Cuba start to arrive and bring Son Montuno, and seamen from Africa bring their old Highlife and Soukous records.
Blend it and your village becomes the place to be for music lovers and a new style is born. First popular in the black ghettos it started to spread quickly all over Colombia and beyond.
Batata is considered to be the king of this genre.
