Born Leury José Tejeda Brito in 1989 Santa Domingo, Dominican rapper Chimbala ranks among Latin America’s foremost dembow performers, the high-energy offshoot of reggaeton. The 2018 release “Maniqui” transformed his trajectory, elevating him within the Urbano landscape next to established hitmakers such as Zion & Lennox, Justin Quiles, Guaynaa, and Don Miguelo. Partnerships alongside El Alfa, Mozart La Para, and Black Point further broadened his reach, matched by the streaming dominance of tracks including “Feliz” (2022) and “Che Che” (2024).
