Profetas

PROFETAS was born in 1997, when three mc’s, two of them colombian, Pablo Fortaleza, J Bovir and american Real One decided to bring effords together to develop a musical Project which presented a new proposal, in music and lyrics as well, for the growing hip-hop wave in Colombia. As of the moment two of the artists left searching for individual projects and the Incoming female talent, the new formation of year 2000 is consolidated. PROFETAS is ever since a duo formed by Antombo Langangui, central-african singer living in Colombia, vocal leader of the group, and Pablo Fortaleza, african-colombian mc, who directs the duo and writes most the songs. PROFETAS plays with tradicional african sound (brought by one of the singers and some guest musicians) and also, the sound in this group has been influenced by latin music, African-colombian and african-caribbean sound (such as reggae and dancehall). Such influence adds to the outstanding hip-hop energy, making of PROFETAS one of the most attractive and innovating proposals in national musical field. In the year 2001, after having worked with some young talented collective groups in popoular neighborhoods in Bogot.., they formed ADN, a project in which artists with no economical resources gather their efforts to show their music. The project involved the recording of two documentary productions and several concerts in neighborhoods and bars around the cuty.
