Makondo | The Sound of Colombia’s Caribbean

Experience the enchanting sounds of Makondo, a seven-piece ensemble from Colombia’s Caribbean coast inspired by the magical realism of Gabriel García Márquez.

Blending Afro-Colombian, Indigenous, and Spanish traditions, Makondo brings to life the region’s rich musical heritage through the mesmerising tones of Gaitas and Millo flutes, the deep pulse of traditional drums, and the infectious dance rhythms of Cumbia, Porro, and Mapalé.

Their performance is a celebration of Colombia’s coastal soul, where music becomes storytelling, rhythm evokes memory, and every note carries the magic of García Márquez’s imagined world.

Step into Makondo’s universe and be transported to a place where the boundaries between sound and story disappear.
