With “Hecho en Colombia,” Jessi Uribe pays tribute to Colombia’s independence, its traditions, and national pride.
Singer Jessi Uribe, one of the most influential figures in the Regional Mexican genre today, presents his latest single, “Hecho en Colombia,” a musical project that celebrates national folklore through a medley of three iconic songs: Soy Colombiano, La Piragua, and La Gota Fría. This release represents a moving tribute to the country’s cultural identity and the sonic legacy that has shaped generations, reaffirming the artist’s commitment to keeping alive the traditions that define us.
“Hecho en Colombia” is much more than a tribute; it is a declaration of love for the land where Jessi Uribe and all Colombians were born. Through this production, the artist pays tribute to traditional music, blending respect for the original essence of these works with a fresh and renewed style that seeks to bring these folkloric gems to new generations. Each of the selected songs has a profound meaning in the country’s musical history, representing different regions, rhythms, and eras that, together, create a sonic mosaic of Colombian diversity.
Jessi Uribe not only performs these songs with his characteristic feeling, but also immerses himself in a process of research and connection with the roots of Colombian folklore. The artist acknowledges the influence of great exponents such as Carlos Vives, whose work in promoting vallenato has been decisive; the duo Garzón and Collazos, distinguished representatives of Andean music; and José Barros, a fundamental composer whose works remain pillars of the national repertoire. Each of these influences has inspired Jessi to create a tribute that seeks to be as educational as it is emotional.
The essence of “Hecho en Colombia” lies in the intention to reconnect with what is ours, to remember the value of music as a cultural heritage, and to pass that legacy on to new generations. The single, accompanied by a music video filled with national symbols, representative landscapes, and typical cultural expressions, offers an experience that goes beyond the musical, offering a visual and audio journey through the heart of Colombia.
With this project, Jessi Uribe reaffirms her versatility as an artist and her desire to transcend the limits of popular music. By integrating folklore into her repertoire, she not only enriches her artistic approach but also contributes to the preservation and dissemination of traditional music in a modern and global context.
