Yeison Landero

Yeison Landero was born in San Jacinto (Bolívar); that is to say, in the very heart of the mountains of María of our Colombian Caribbean.

He carries in his soul a cumbiambero heart inherited from his grandfather Andrés Landero: a musician recognized as the king of cumbia nationally and internationally.

He grew up in an environment surrounded by music, dances and serenades. In his early years, his home was visited by great musicians who entertained at parties with their incomparable talents. Artists of the stature of Alfredo Gutiérrez, Lizandro Meza, Calixto Ochoa, Enríquez Díaz, the composer and singer Adolfo Pacheco Anillo, the legendary pipers of San Jacinto, Abel Antonio Villa, and an innumerable bunch of sabanero folklore figures with whom Yeison nurtured his traditional style.

Yeison Landero has taken his cumbia to various stages like the Kennedy Center in New York and the Lincoln Theater in Washington. From North and South America to Europe, Africa and Asia, Yaison continues to spread the joy of cumbia with his accordion.
