ESPAÑOL

Alerta Kamarada o simplemente Alerta es un grupo de música reggae originario de Bogotá, Colombia. Se le ha considerado el principal proyecto de este género en su país. Historia[editar · editar código] El nacimiento de Alerta Kamarada se remonta a 1996, cuando sus integrantes estaban interesados en formar un grupo de ska, el cual dos años después experimentó con el reggae. Los fundadores de la banda fueron Felipe López (batería), Pablo Araoz (bajo), Javier Fonseca (voz), Daladier Arismendi (percusión), Jorge Lozano (teclado) y Hernando Zamora (guitarra). El reconocimiento en el ámbito local los llevó en 2003 a una presentación en la ciudad de Chicago, como parte del concierto en honor a Colombia que se efectuó en la edición de ese año del Latin Film Festival. De esa época data la presentación de su primer demo en la localidad de Puerto Asís (Putumayo) y su primera producción discográfica, el sencillo En lo profundo editado con su sello Natarajah. El grupo se dio a conocer en la radio colombiana a partir de 2004, cuando lanzaron el álbum Alerta, del cual se difundieron las canciones "Legal" y "Motín". De la primera canción se realizó un videoclip filmado en la población de Ambalema. Su reconocimiento entre el público le ha valido en varias ocasiones ser galardonado por los lectores de la Revista Shock como el mejor grupo de reggae colombiano. Con ese rótulo a cuestas lanzaron en 2006 Somos uno, álbum grabado en Jamaica en cuya producción participó Sly Dunbar (saxofonista de Bob Marley). De ese álbum se dieron a conocer las canciones "Somos uno", "Sonido prendido" (a dúo con Fidel Nadal) y "Princesa". El éxito de este último tema permitió que Somos uno fuera relanzado y distribuido por el sello Universal Music. Para 2009 el grupo lanzó el álbum Kaliente, del cual presentaron el videoclip de la canción "Por ti, mamá". En febrero de 2010 presentaron el álbum Historias de pueblo, del cual lanzaron la canción "De donde viene la cumbia". En esta producción participaron como invitados especiales el músico vallenato Alfredo Gutiérrez, Ata, del grupo La Etnnia y Charley Anderson de The Selecter.5 Alerta se ha presentado en las ediciones de Rock al Parque de 2003, 2004 y 2007. También ha compartido tarima con artistas como Alpha Blondie, UB40 y Julian Marley. Luego de su consolidación en la escena de su país, ha logrado presentarse en escenarios de países como Suecia e Italia.
