From the dynamic effervescence of Colombian life and the cosmopolitan sophistication of Munich arises the musical essence of Minga 3, a musical collective formed at the confluence of the rivers of creativity and friendship. The name Minga 3 emerges from a fascinating blend of cultures and languages. In Quechua, Minga signifies a ritual of community collaboration, a supportive gathering of friends and neighbors. This same word, in Bavarian dialect, nods to the city of Munich, the band’s adopted home. The number 3 pays tribute to the three founders of this vibrant collective: Carlos Segura from Cali, Big Sergio from Bogotá, and Donald Manuel from the San Andrés, Providencia, and Santa Catalina Islands. Together, they have forged what they call «Afro Latin Groove, a unique amalgam of rhythms that incorporates the best of their musical heritage, embracing the melodies of their homeland and blending them with an authentic folkloric air. Throughout their career, the band has explored and experimented with urban rhythms such as Salsa Choke, Champeta, Kizomba, and hip-hop, creating a diverse and magnetic repertoire. Minga 3 is more than a band. It is a celebration of cultural diversity and camaraderie, a musical testament to solidarity and love for music. With its innovative Afro-Latin groove, this Colombian-German collective invites its listeners to join their global minga, a dance of brotherhood and melody that extends beyond borders and language barriers.
