Santaferia is a musical group from Chile.[1] They play an eclectic style of new Chilean cumbia that they call cumbia casera ("house cumbia"), combining elements of Argentinian cumbia villera ("ghetto cumbia"), ska, reggae, and other Latin music traditions.[2] The group was formed in 2008, and includes ten members, playing guitar, bass, keyboards, brass instruments, and several types of percussion, in addition to vocals. They have released two albums, Le traigo cumbia ("I bring you cumbia") in 2011, and Lo que va a pasar ("What is going to happen") in 2013. Several of their songs have become hits in Chile, most notably Sakate Uno.[3]
