Enjoy this short clip of pioneering Colombian champeta legend Louis Towers performing with the Afro-Colombian all-star group-Champe-Soukous Collective. Carnegie Hall Citywide concert series in Manhattan's Bryant Park on July 28, 2023.
Champe-Soukous Collective is creating their own CoCo Ritmo (Congo/Colombia Rhythm) genre which forges the Trans-Atlantic connection between Colombian champeta and its source music- the Congolese soukous-rumba of Central Africa's Belle Époque era.
