Biography

Formed in Bogotá in 2005, the eclectic music collective Bomba Estéreo reached international fame through their kaleidoscopic blend of cumbia, psychedelic music, electronica, and more. Originally a solo effort by Colombian musician Simón Mejía (formerly a member of the art collective A.M. 770), the lineup was completed with the addition of singer and rapper Liliana "Li" Saumet, who featured on the mini-album Vol. 1 (2006), Mejía's first release as Bomba Estéreo. Soon enough, the project developed into a full band when Diego Cadavid, Julián Salazar, and Enrique "Kike" Errugola were brought into the fold. In 2009, their album Blow Up, a US reissue of their 2008 LP Estalla, introduced them to a whole new audience through the hit single "Fuego," featured in several series and video games. Their next album, 2012's Elegancia Tropical, received a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album. In 2015, Bomba Estéreo returned with their major-label debut Amanecer, which climbed to the top of the Colombian charts and reached Number 2 on the streaming charts in the US. Over the course of the next few years, the band continued its exploration of Latin American music with critically acclaimed albums like Ayo (2017) and Deja (2021), both of which elicited praise from critics and racked up nominations at the Latin Grammys. Following the release of Deja, Bomba Estéreo reached new heights in 2022 with "Ojitos Lindos," a collaboration with Bad Bunny that surpassed 10 million views in just five days. The track, produced by Tainy, built on the success of their massive hit "To My Love (Remix)," which exceeded a billion streams. That same year, they explored new sonic territory by collaborating with Spanish band Zetak on "Zoriontasuna," blending Spanish and Basque lyrics. In 2025, they unveiled ASTROPICAL, a joint project with Rawayana, introducing a 12-track concept album inspired by zodiac signs. The project's debut single, "Me Pasa (Piscis)," dropped on January 30, followed by "Una Noche en Caracas (Tauro)" and "Corazón Adentro (Escorpio)" on February 6. The full album was released on March 7, marking yet another bold step in Bomba Estéreo’s ever-evolving career.
