How did Andrea Valdiri become famous?

The video that the Barranquilla native recorded for Castillo in 2016 was a turning point in her career.

Andrea Valdiri’s name began to ring out loud on social media, consolidating herself as one of the most prominent figures in the digital sphere.

In response to Valdiri’s statements, Wilfran Castillo posted the original 2016 video on his Instagram account, in which she appears dancing to the song ‘La muchachita’ in her living room, dressed in shorts and a black top. This video, recorded by Castillo in collaboration with the champeta group Bazurto All Stars, marked the beginning of the dancer’s fame on social media. In his post, Castillo expressed his gratitude and admiration for her evolution and her contribution to his career.

“Year 2016. I had to convince her that I had the magic to dance on social media. But was I right? Thank you for believing me Andrea Valdiri, that day the warrior I know was born. I am always grateful to you and your mother Carmen Valdiri, who is a divine person. Aris Camacho’s camera, today ‘El cela,’” Castillo wrote on his Instagram account.
