Grupo Niche

Grupo Niche is Colombia’s most emblematic salsa orchestra who have conquered the world for more than forty years with their Cali-style salsa.

Grupo Niche was formed by Jairo Varela and a group of like-minded, talented musicians and made their debut with the release of Al Pasito in 1980. After becoming one of the major tropical acts in their native country, the group had the opportunity to participate in a salsa festival at New York's Madison Square Garden in 1986.

The band brought their dynamic sound to Europe for the first time in 1989. During the '90s, Grupo Niche turned to romantic lyrics, leaving behind their traditional songs based on social issues and had numerous hits such as Ana Mil, La Canoa Rancha, Cali Aji, Una Aventura, Cielo' de Tambores, Gotas de Lluvia and Cali Pachanguero.
