Hamilton is the stage name of Leimor Hamilton Solera, a Colombian Afrobeats singer from Cartagena de Indias who built his name by leaning into Afro-Caribbean rhythms rather than the dominant urbano and champeta lanes, scoring an early breakthrough with the 2019 single âMorena.â After a run of singles through 2020â2023, he issued his first long-form project Los Reyes Del Mar in 2024, laying the groundwork for a bigger, more collaborative chapter. In 2025 he stepped onto a wider stage with the 21-track album Afrorockstar (released August 28, 2025 via Cigol Music Group/Globalatino in partnership with Elevate Records), a set that paired feel-good Afrobeats with sleek pop hooks and high-profile guests. The record highlighted cross-regional collaborationsââLa Rutaâ with Farruko, â4LIFEâ with Ryan Castro, âChalalaâ with De La Ghetto, âMi Reinaâ with Nanpa Básico, and âTus Labiosâ with Héctor Nazzaâalongside solo standouts like âBESITOS DULCES,â âGracias x Aparecer,â and the title track âAFROROCKSTAR.â His Acoustic Session of âMi Reinaâ with Nanpa Básico further showcased his melodic range and romantic writing, while pre-release singles such as âDeja Vu,â âVacio,â and âNáufragoâ kept momentum across DSPs. Across this period, Hamilton translated Cartagena street energy into an exportable Afrobeats identityâbalancing dance-floor bounce, bilingual hooks, and feature-driven singlesâpositioning himself as one of Colombiaâs clearest bridges between African-diasporic pop and Latin urban music.
