Canalón de Timbiquí are a band from the Pacific coast of Colombia. They have released four albums, most recently the Latin Grammy-nominated De Mar y Río in 2019, and have toured in the Americas and Europe.

History

Nidia Góngora formed Canalón de Timbiquí in 2001,[1] as a "branch" of a group called Canalón that she had been a part of while at school in Timbiquí.[2] Canalón was created by Elizabeth Sinisterra, a school teacher, together with Góngora's mother Oliva Bonilla, initially as a way of introducing the children to the traditional rhythms of currulao and arrullo.[3]

In 2004, Canalón de Timbiquí released their debut album Déjame Subí, which was followed by the album Una Sola Raza in 2011.[3] Their third album Arrullando was released in 2016, and won Best Folk Album (Spanish: mejor disco folclor) at the Premios Shock that year.[1]

Canalón de Timbiquí's most recent album is De Mar y Río, which was released in 2019 on Llorona Records, and was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award for Best Folk Album at the 20th Latin Grammy Awards.[4][2] Appearing on the album are 14 musicians and several well-known singers from the Colombian Pacific, including Olivia Bonilla, Emeterio Balanta, Modesta Torres, and Ninfa Ocoró.[5]

Canalón de Timbiquí have toured in the Americas and Europe.[3]
