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."
