World Cup 2022: Costa Rica

Surely a country with many different influences and a sensational ecological balance sheet can also make music, right? ....
Flag Costa Rica

Located in the middle of Central America and sandwiched between countries such as Mexico or Colombia and the Caribbean, it is clear that you will always hear music on the streets of Costa Rica. Costa Rican music is subject to many external influences. Costa Rica generates 100% of its electricity needs from renewable sources and abolished its army in favor of more education and health back in 1948.

El Parque, for example, were one of the first bands from Costa Rica to record a CD in 1993 and recorded a new album in 2022 after a long absence. The band had several hits in Costa Rica and partly on the South American continent.

More electronics play a role with Cocofunka, the group was founded in 2008 and has been regularly delivering new records in Costa Rica ever since.Debi Nova (Deborah Nowalski Kader), born in 1980, is probably the best-known musician from Costa Rica; she has collaborated with Mark Ronson on Tomorrow and Ricky Martin on Qué Más, for example, and was the first Costa Rican woman to reach number 1 in the Billboard Dance Charts.
