Tomorrowland 2023, one of the world’s most prestigious electronic music festivals, recently set the stage alight in Boom, Belgium. This monumental event, known for bringing together the most renowned DJs globally, has also built a tradition of inviting diverse artists to present electronic interpretations of their collaborative works.
As the event kicked off, it was Colombian artist Maluma who captured the audience’s attention with a thrilling surprise performance.
A successor to Karol G, who graced the stage with Tiësto in 2022, waving the Colombian flag, Maluma continued the representation of Colombian artists on the international stage. Echoing the sentiment of a former Miss Universe, Maluma’s presence reaffirmed that “today we are managing to lead different scenarios worldwide.”
The festival, which was streamed globally, saw the Antioquian artist Maluma perform the song “Parcera” with DJ Gordo, a Guatemalan-American DJ who commands a substantial standing in the electronic music genre. The performance had millions of people from across the globe riveted on its premiere day.

At Tomorrowland 2023, Maluma followed in the footsteps of fellow Colombian artist Karol G.

That year’s lineup featured renowned artists such as Diplo, Martin Garrix, Marshmello, Alan Walker, and even Paris Hilton.
In 2022, there were rumors that Karol G was present backstage, with sources reporting a dressing room bearing her name on the morning of Friday, July 29. It was this moment, carried forward by Maluma, that reaffirmed the Colombian presence on the global stage, continuing to say “present” in diverse international scenarios.
