La Chiva Gantiva was birthed in the culturally diverse city of Brussels, when three Colombian immigrants came together around a percussion kit, driven by a desire to produce original music and to celebrate their cultural roots.
Their encounter resulted in a blend of Afro-Colombian and traditional rhythms, that quickly gathered more musicians from all over the world – so that today La Chiva comprise Colombian, Vietnamese, Belgian and a Chilean members.
Such eclectic musical and cultural influences makes for an explosive and exciting live performance. Today, La Chiva Gantiva are a truly multicultural and dynamic force – out to challenge a world dominated by division, insecurity and isolationism through their wildly spirited music.
