Nadie by Jimena Angel & Jo Bissa
Jimena Angel’s new single is a collaboration with Jo Bissa, half of the Dutch tropical electronica duo Umoja* Together, they embark on journey through Colombia’s Picó sound system culture.
The track is infused with Champeta, a fusion of 70’s West African grooves and Colombian Caribbean rhythm. With its syncopated snare rolls and soukouss guitar licks, “Nadie” teleports us to a street party in Cartagena.
“Nadie nunca como yo...” could translate as *Nobody, never, like me”. “Nadie” is an ode to uniqueness and self-esteem. Jimena’s message is one of empowerment and tolerance.

Jimena Angel’s tropical pop, imbued with soulful electronic and Afro-Latin rhythms, shows she is as versatile as inventive. After 25 years as a pop rock singer, she decided to take a pause from her big city life in Bogota for a life Caribbean coast. The slow pace and luxuriant natural surroundings renewed her creativity and inspired a repertoire of music including her new single, Llamameya.
