Your tray will be positioned like a leash The accordion was adopted by the Compañía de Grandes Exponentes like this one Carlos Vives in the La Provincia group.

Nacido en Villanueva, La Guajira, 1953, This accordion has marked an era in the middle of the valley, its music beyond the highest heights in Colombia as in the international scenario.

Her name was heard in the musical ambience of the Caribbean, With an album together with Carlos Vives that Egidio Cuadrado reconstructed the most.

It is a double transformation of the traditional era into a global phenomenon, The music of traditional sounds with the modern sounds that Vives promoted was part of the iconic sounds of “La Gota Fría”, “La Tierra del Olvido” and many more. But Egidio did not just play Carlos Vives’ accordion player, but a character who embodied the feeling and culture of La Guajira in her melodies.

Cuadrado learned to begin the accordion of self-taught maneuversfrom a young age, influenced by Vallenato people like Luis Enrique Martínez and Alfredo Gutiérrez.
