La Chiva Gantiva

Born in Brussels, Belgium, La Chiva Gantiva is a one-of-a-kind band founded by Colombian musicians and enriched by talents from diverse backgrounds. Since its debut, La Chiva Gantiva has transcended cultural boundaries, blending diversity and creativity into an
explosive musical fusion. 

The band is celebrated for its ability to transform every stage into a full-blown party, captivating audiences with its raw energy. They’ll make you dance, jump or mosh with their original combination of rock, funk, hip hop and punk with Colombian rhythms, while preserving a jam mentality and multicultural origins.

Prestigious festivals such as Roskilde, WOMAD (UK, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Russia), and the Paleo Festival have all borne witness to their electrifying performances. In 2025, La Chiva Gantiva celebrates 15 years of traveling the world, sharing their vibrant energy and festive music. This milestone also marks the release of their new album, EGO, a project that promises to amplify the group’s soul and unique identity.
