Juan Carlos Coronel in concert (Platea)

Cartagena 2025, 
The Cartagena singer, composer, and producer Juan Carlos Coronel presents a very special concert in his city—an event that is also a tribute to the Black people who turned a cry of pain and protest into art as a form of resistance. On these indelible traces and scars, which exist as a legacy, this artistic proposal rises, filled with many rhythms and nuances, rooted in the ancestral sounds of the traditional cumbia from the mangroves and salty shores of Cartagena. Here, in the veneration of joy and the reclaiming of stolen humanity through rhythm, it was born.
