Nidia Góngora is a singer/songwriter from the remote river village of Timbiquí, an Afro-Colombian community, whose location and cultural contrasts provide endless inspiration. Now based in Cali, she is considered one of the foremost artists of the typical marimba music of the South Pacific region, a guardian of the oral tradition and was awarded the title of ‘Afro-Colombian of the Year’ by Color de Colombia and El Espactador. Fronting leading regional outfits including Grupo Canalon and Canalón de Timbiquí (who were nominated in the Latin Grammy Awards for Best Folk Album), Góngora inspires many from the region with her techniques and work.
She has performed alongside and collaborated with the likes of Hugo Candelario González, Alé Kumá and world-renowned British producer Quantic, with whom Góngora released ‘Curao’ on Tru Thoughts. A culmination of a creative partnership spanning almost a decade, the pair combine magnetic vocals and captivating song writing with infectiously danceable beats and forward-thinking production.
Performing with groups such as La Pacifican Power, Ondatrópica and Bongo Hop has allowed Góngora to experiment and merge rhythms and sonorities across Colombian music, while working with and learning from musicians from different regions. As a connoisseur of the ancestral practices of her region (including the composition of traditional and religious songs), she has received important national and international recognition as a leading Colombian voice.
