– Electronic and visual madness
Systema Solar moves at the intersection of electronic music interspersed with small doses of hip hop, house and techno, and the sounds and colors of the Colombian-Caribbean coast.
Systema Solar is an innovative musical-visual collective from the Caribbean coast of Colombia, founded in late 2006 to open the Medellin Art Biennial MDE07. Inspired by the piko culture, the group's members come together to create, adapt and reinvent music through improvisation and with the goal of spreading joy and dance. Systema Solar recycles Afro-Caribbean and Colombian traditional music such as cumbia, bullerengue, porro and champeta with electronic tools and styles such as hip hop, house, techno and breakbeats, all with a clear social and sustainable message.
Live, they offer a colorful and extravagant universe with costumes, sets and music that provides an unstoppable dance urge in the audience.
