Colombia<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Since 2021 we knew that March would be a busy month for the music industry in Colombia, but we never expected so much to happen. The band from Bogota Morat<\/a> performed five nights at the Movistar Arena in Bogota and became the act with the most sold-out concerts at that venue. Miley Cyrus visited Colombia as part of her festival tour in Latin America and performed for the first time in a long time the song \"Miley Cyrus\". Angels Like You<\/i>. Caifanes and Fito P\u00e1ez played sold-out concerts at La Macarena in Medell\u00edn and Barranquilla successfully celebrated its famous Carnival.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And now comes the roller coaster...<\/strong><\/p>\n

The international Jamming Festival cancelled one day before it was scheduled to begin<\/a>. Almost 150,000 people were expected to attend the event over three days. The event was to be held in Ibagu\u00e9, with stages already set up, international artists traveling to Colombia and attendees with separate accommodations.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a tragedy for the revival of live events and, above all, a nightmare for merchants who were filled with debts to buy products they could not sell. It is a dark episode in the history of the city of Ibagu\u00e9 and a festival that will hardly recover from this one, despite the respect it had acquired in 10 editions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What did happen, and with grace and finesse, was the Est\u00e9reo Picnic Festival, which, although it fulfilled and filled the void we had of festivals, was overshadowed by the sudden death of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins. See our special report here:\u00a0 Stereo Picnic Festival<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

And, well, as always, lots of national music. These were our favorite releases of the month.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Four years passed between <\/span>Like fish in ice<\/span><\/i>the debut album of the Bogot\u00e1 band Nicol\u00e1s y los fumadores, and <\/span>God and the lulo bush (or what to do in case you have lost the light).<\/span><\/i><\/a>. This is one of the most awaited albums of the national alternative music and will surely have an important impact in Latin America.<\/span><\/p>\n
