Colombian singer Zaider, the Cartagena-born artist nicknamed "El Que Nunca Falla," has announced his first major Spanish run: four concerts in four consecutive nights, from 18 to 21 March 2027. The tour hits Málaga, Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona, ending at the well-known Sala Razzmatazz venue.
Zaider is one of the leading names in Colombia's new wave of Caribbean urban music. His sound mixes champeta — the high-energy genre born on Cartagena's streets and rooted in African rhythms — with Latin afrobeat, dancehall and contemporary urban production. After more than a decade in the industry, he has collaborated with Maluma, Blessd, Kapo, Goyo, Darell and Rochy RD, and records under Sony Music.
Fans can expect tracks like "Alma" with Kapo and "Vive La Vida" with Blessd, plus "Madrid," "El Truquito" and "Te Va a Doler." The full setlist is still under wraps, but the shows should span his whole range, from traditional champeta to more international afrobeat flavours.
Tickets are already on sale through online ticketing platforms, starting at around €29.99, though prices vary by city and seating category. The confirmed dates:
- 18 March 2027 — Málaga, Sala Trinchera
- 19 March 2027 — Madrid, Sala Mon
- 20 March 2027 — Valencia, Sala Madison
- 21 March 2027 — Barcelona, Sala Razzmatazz
For travellers, this is a neat excuse for a spring city break with a Caribbean soundtrack. The four stops cover some of Spain's most rewarding cities — Málaga's beaches and old town, Madrid's museums and nightlife, Valencia's food scene and paella heartland, and Barcelona's architecture and club culture. Late March also brings milder weather and smaller crowds than the summer peak. For the Colombian diaspora in Spain and anyone curious about champeta, hearing it live straight from Cartagena beats any playlist. And if the trip leaves you hungry for more, a flight to Colombia to hear these rhythms in their home city is a reasonable next step.
