 | | AVAILABILITY EUROPE ON TOUR : SUMMER 2012 9 PEOPLE ON THE ROAD Pioneer in the mixture of cumbia with urban sounds Celso Piña, was nominated for two Latin Grammy Awards as best "Contemporary Tropical Album" and "Best New Artist From the North" -- as well as for "Best Alternative Artist" by the MTV Latino Awards. Celso Piña, it is said, almost single-handedly created the burgeoning cumbia scene in Monterrey with his first album in 1980. A folkloric music born in Colombia's Caribbean coastal region, cumbia sabanera and its cousin cumbia vallenata were forged from a fusion of European accordion, native Indian guacharaca (a bamboo scraper), and African rhythms played on the caja, a drum slightly larger than a bongo. Cumbia has since spread and is now one of the most universal rhythms of Latin music. Celso Piña realise the mixture of tropical sounds, combined with all sorts of urban and popular music, from Mexican music Norteña & Sonidera until Ska, Reggae, Rap and Hip Hop. Listen to Celso Piña |
With two dozen albums to his credit, this notable Mexican singer, composer and accordionist just celebrated his 30 years career old. In 2001, when Celso Piña's platinum single "Cumbia Sobre el Rio" (found in the soundtrack of "Babel" by Alejandro González Inárritu) was released on his Barrio Bravo album, there wasn't a car or living room from Chicago to Chiapas that didn't have the bass booming and the sonic onslaught layered with accordion rattling their windows. With this track, Celso Piña and producer Toy Hernández, the mix-master wizard for Monterrey's Control Machete, created a whole new hybrid by mixing the galloping rural rhythms of Colombian cumbias with the anarchy of urban streets. He also collaborated on projects, among others, along with Lila Downs, Control Machete, El Gran Silencio, Sonidero Nacional, Los humilde, Julieta Venegas, Blanquito Man and Sergent Garcia. There are also several of these artists on the last album "Sin Fecha de Caducidad". Read more about Celso Piña (Wikipedia) | |  | |

But when the disc worked, everybody loved it” Liberation.fr / Oct 2011 | | “The accordionist Celso Piña was probably the most acclaimed musicians during WOMEX. It is rare than in this market mainly attended by professionals, one last song is requested with this so frenetic way” Mondomix.com / Oct 2011 |
