Rototom Colombia 2026: ten years of resistance and a line-up that comes from the world
A decade. Ten editions built from the ground up, with conviction and without losing the thread. The nextSaturday June 6, 2026, theHalf Cake of Bogotábecomes the epicenter of conscious Latin American reggae to celebrate the tenth anniversary ofRototom Colombia— the event that each year closes theReggae Monthwith music, identity and real community.
Free entry. Continuous day from noon. Artists arriving from Jamaica, Ecuador, Mexico, Medellín, Boyacá and Bogotá. It's not just a concert — it's a cultural meeting point that has been a benchmark in Latin America for a decade.
Ten years of a movement that does build
Reggae Monthis the initiative behind all this. Born from the work ofMartinika and Javier— High Grade and Alert Kamarada — and his relationship with theRototom Sunsplash Festivalin Europe: years of self-managed processes promoting reggae culture from Colombia, with a focus on national talent with export quality. Its objective has been to unite the community around reggae, making visible the musical and cultural expressions of the movement with a look that integrates the recreational, the social and the artistic.
One of their biggest projects was an annual competition for reggae bands and deejays, whose main prize was the possibility of traveling to play at Rototom Sunsplash, the largest reggae culture festival in the world, held in Europe for more than 30 years. It is not minor: that direct bridge with the global scene is part of what makes this initiative different.
Behind this work is also theS.U.W.A.O Foundation, ally in the construction of the reggae movement in Colombia and in the creation of Rototom Colombia. Together they have brought the festival to communities in Bogotá that rarely see this type of cultural proposal reach them.
That is not built from one year to the next. That is built with resistance — and hence the motto of this tenth edition:"10 years of resistance".
A line-up that crosses continents
What makes this edition special is not just the round number. The 2026 line-up reflects exactly what Latin American reggae is today: a movement with Jamaican roots, continental ramifications and its own proposal in each country. From Roots to Ska, from Dancehall to Dub — all in one non-stop day.

From Ecuador,Luis Alcivarbrings the voice of Ecuadorian reggae to Media Torta. From Chihuahua,Reggae Traffic Lightshows that Mexican reggae no longer only plays in the center of the country — it comes from the north and travels to the south. From CDMX,Soul Dread CrewHe brings his Sound System team to Colombia with 18 years of experience and a Mexico-Jamaica bridge that they have built brick by brick.
And the Colombians — Tarmac, Juan Camacho, The Big Beaters, La Monky Band, Ras Tavaris X Khraig, Thabuu — are proof that the local scene has the level to stand alongside anyone.
"From Jamaica to Bogota, from northern Mexico to Ecuador — Rototom Colombia 2026 is a sound map of Latin American reggae."
One more detail that speaks of the spirit of this festival: for the first time, Rototom Colombia opens space togenerational change with a guest DJ child. Reggae is also future.

Reggae has the peculiarity that its best festivals are not always the biggest or the most expensive — they are the most genuine. Those that have history, a community base and clarity in the message. Rototom Colombia has all three.
Ten editions in Bogotá. A line-up that comes from four countries.
