With its diverse sounds, music from Colombia has connected with a range of audiences from all around the world-and Colombian pop is no exception. This genre has seen rapid growth over the past five years, with streams doubling in Colombia and increasing by over 250% globally. On Spotify, it's the second-most-listened-to genre from the country, surpassed only by reggaet n.
The world is familiar with the talents of Colombian stars Shakira, Sebasti n Yatra, and Morat, and now there's a new wave of artists revolutionizing Colombian pop with their unique sounds, heartfelt performances, and catchy lyrics. With the help of Spotify, these artists have been connecting with fans both locally and globally.
As this genre continues its rise, we've notably seen female voices taking center stage. Here are a few that should be added to your queue:
Ela Taubert
Hailing from Bogot , Ela Taubert has rocketed to stardom with her emotive pop and personal lyrics. She has over 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and her hit C mo Pas ? has surpassed 78 million streams, ranking it third among the top 30 most-listened-to Colombian songs abroad so far in 2024. Other popular tracks include Y Si Eras T ? (over 15 million streams) and Crecer (over 11 million streams). More than a million playlists feature at least one of her songs!
Most of Ela's streams come from Mexico, Peru, Colombia, and Chile, but she is also gaining traction in countries like Egypt, India, Austria, Australia, and Ireland.
Laura P rez
Another Bogot native making her mark in pop is Laura P rez. A singer and guitarist, Laura released her first EP, Retazos, in 2020 and has been unstoppable since, amassing over 125,000 monthly listeners. Buenos d as is her most-streamed song, with over 3 million plays, followed by Vuela, with over 1 million streams, and La Luna y T , with over 790,000 streams on Spotify.
Over the past year, her melodies have seen a notable increase in streams in countries like Nicaragua, Canada, the U.K., Japan, and the Netherlands.

With a background in musical theater, Jules combines her vocal talent with a unique and distinctive narrative in her music. This year, she released MELODRAM TICA, her first solo album, which blends pop, R&B, orchestral arrangements, and ambient sounds.
