Colombian singer Hamilton, known as “AfroRockStar,” has announced his first headlining concert at Bogota’s Movistar Arena. The show will take place on April 3, 2027, marking a significant milestone in the career of the Cartagena-born artist, who has gained recognition in Colombia’s urban music scene with a sound that blends Afrobeats, dancehall, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and contemporary influences.
The performance will mark a new chapter in the musician’s career as he expands his presence in the Colombian music industry through new releases, collaborations with established artists and appearances at major live events. Headlining his own show at the Movistar Arena represents a significant step forward for an artist whose musical identity draws heavily on the cultural heritage of Colombia’s Caribbean coast.
The announcement also follows the release of AFROROCKSTAR, his debut studio album, a 21-track project that helped establish his musical identity and expand his reach among fans of emerging urban sounds.
Hamilton will bring his musical style to a solo show at Bogota’s Movistar Arena
The April 3, 2027, concert represents a goal the artist himself has described as one of his dreams since he began his musical journey. Taking center stage at one of Colombia’s leading live entertainment venues presents a new challenge in terms of audience turnout, production and connecting with fans.
Hamilton has developed a musical style that incorporates elements of Cartagena’s Afro-Caribbean sounds and combines them with international trends such as Afrobeats. This blend has helped him establish a distinctive identity within Colombia’s urban music scene, at a time when African- and Caribbean-influenced rhythms are gaining popularity on digital platforms and Latin American stages.
Some of his best-known songs include “Madrid,” “Mi Reina,” “Gata Oficial,” “4Life” and “¿Quién Me Mandó?” The latter reached No. 1 on Shazam Colombia, according to information published about his career, helping increase the singer’s visibility among urban music listeners.
From Cartagena to major stages: The rise of AfroRockStar
Hamilton’s rise is closely tied to a musical approach that maintains strong connections to his hometown while incorporating global influences. His nickname, “El Pelaito de Cartagena,” is also part of his artistic identity and reflects the culture of the city where he was born.
In recent years, the singer has strengthened his presence through collaborations with prominent Latin music artists, including Ryan Castro, Farruko, De La Ghetto, Nanpa Basico, Justin Quiles, Lenny Tavárez and Mau y Ricky. These musical partnerships have helped him reach wider audiences and connect with different segments of the urban music genre.
His live performances have also played an important role in his growing profile. Hamilton performed at the La Solar festival in Medellin, shared the stage with Ryan Castro at large-scale shows and appeared as a guest at J Balvin concerts. These experiences have allowed him to perform for larger audiences and gain experience at major venues.
In 2026, his growing success was accompanied by several industry recognitions. He received six nominations at the Premios Nuestra Tierra, earned a nomination at the Premios Juventud and was included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. He was also selected for YouTube Foundry 2026, a program that supports emerging artists with international potential.
The ‘El Pelaito de CTG Colombia Tour’ will also travel across the country
In addition to his Bogota performance, Hamilton announced the national tour ‘El Pelaito de CTG Colombia Tour 2026/27’, which is expected to take him to several Colombian cities before concluding in the capital at the Movistar Arena.
The announced stops include Cartagena, Sincelejo, San Andres, Medellin, Bucaramanga, Cali and Barranquilla, as well as Bogota. The tour aims to bring his music to audiences across different regions and strengthen his connection with the fans who have supported his rise.
The national tour and the Bogota concert are part of a broader expansion phase for the artist, who has also pursued opportunities outside Colombia. His participation in part of Ryan Castro’s U.S. tour has helped introduce his music to international audiences, alongside the growing popularity of Afrobeats within Latin music.
The performance at the Movistar Arena will offer an opportunity to measure the extent of Hamilton’s growth in one of Colombia’s most important music markets. For the Cartagena-born artist, the challenge is not simply to perform in Bogota, but to translate his distinctive sound and recent achievements into a large-scale show capable of bringing his growing fan base together.
With the April 3, 2027, date announced, Hamilton is preparing for one of the most important performances of his career. His first headlining concert at the Movistar Arena represents a new chapter for an artist seeking to bring the sounds of Colombia’s Caribbean coast to an increasingly broad audience.
