Emisora chilena con cumbia y ritmos tropicales que llegan directo al corazon.
Who Radio Corazon is
Radio Corazon is one of Chile's most popular stations, based in Santiago with a warm, familiar tone that made it a favorite among everyday listeners. Its signature is the music people sing and dance to at get-togethers, birthdays and weekend cookouts.
Chilean cumbia sits at the center of its lineup, with that blend of humor, street life and flavor that defines the tropical sound made in Chile.
What you will hear
Chilean cumbia plays in all its shapes: the contagious energy of Chico Trujillo, the romantic and danceable hits of Noche de Brujas, and the unmissable classics of La Sonora de Tommy Rey that have become party staples.
Add to that the flavor of Americo and the fresh sound of La Combo Tortuga, artists keeping cumbia alive for the newer generations in Santiago.
Chilean cumbia and Santiago
Cumbia reached Chile from Colombia and the rest of the continent, and over time it grew its own accent: cheekier, more urban, tied to neighborhood life. Santiago was one of the great engines of that shift.
Listening to Radio Corazon means feeling that capital-city pulse, where cumbia stopped being an import and became the soundtrack of the Chilean party.
