Brief description:"Cerronato fuses rich four-part harmonies, ornate and funky accordion and bass, and frenzied percussion in a joyous yet poignant mix. Their inspiration comes from Colombian vallenato and cumbia, two old musical traditions that have spread far from their original homeland. Based in Austin, Texas, the four members of Cerronato are ambassadors for those archetypal Colombian styles through their lively performances and fervent commitment to the spirit of celebration animating them. A century after vallenato and cumbia emerged out of Colombia’s cultural cauldron of indigenous, Spanish, and African cultures, Cerronato continues to mix it up, combining respect for the heritage and the impulse to innovate."
