YEISON LANDERO (Colombia) Directly from the Montes de María on Colombia’s Caribbean Coast — the birthplace of Cumbia — Yeison Landero is one of the genre’s most celebrated performers and ambassadors worldwide. Grandson of the legendary Andrés Landero, “The King of Cumbia,” Yeison inherited not only the family name, but the soul, rhythm, and accordion mastery of one of Colombia’s greatest musical legacies. Since the age of seven, he has dedicated his career to preserving, innovating, and bringing Cumbia to new audiences around the world. https://en.omproducciones.org/yeisonlandero ? AFROSOUND (Colombia) is pure energy, cumbia with power and an unmistakable sound that has left its mark on generations. Formed in the 1970s under the vision of Discos Fuentes, the band revolutionized tropical music by blending cumbia with distorted guitars, wah-wah effects, synthesizers, and a psychedelic touch that made it a unique phenomenon in its genre. Inspired by the Afro-Latin rock of Osibisa and Santana, and by the tropical rhythms of Peru and Ecuador, Afrosound created an unparalleled style that remains relevant more than five decades later. ? Opening Performance: LADY LA PROFETA (Ottawa,Cali) Born in Cali, Colombia, Lady La Profeta is the 2023 World Poetry Slam Champion, internationally recognized for her powerful work in poetry, music, and film. Her artistry creates spaces for healing and transformation, uplifting Latino and immigrant voices, breaking cycles, and building connection across communities through storytelling and performance. https://www.instagram.com/ladylaprofeta/?hl=en ⚡ With funding support from Canadian Heritage More info: www.axeworldfest.com - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/ottawa/yeison-landero-w-special-guests-afrosound-and-lady-la-profeta/200030109277015 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, art, music, literary-art, performances, festivals, workshops, parties, live-music, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 68 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Ottawa - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts (1 Elgin Street, Ottawa, ON, Canada) - **lat**: 45.423124305242 - **long**: -75.693864226341 - **full address**: National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts (1 Elgin Street, Ottawa, ON, Canada), Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Yeison Landero w/ Special Guests Afrosound & Lady La Profeta?? - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/95528aa76dc1f62eff6e122616a21702a4102529f38b1f86ab591bf7fcb662d6-rimg-w1200-h628-dc712063-gmir?v=1784100739 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Yeison Landero w/ Special Guests Afrosound & Lady La Profeta?? being held? - **A:** Yeison Landero w/ Special Guests Afrosound & Lady La Profeta?? takes place on Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm at National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts (1 Elgin Street, Ottawa, ON, Canada), Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Yeison Landero w/ Special Guests Afrosound & Lady La Profeta??? - **A:** Yeison Landero w/ Special Guests Afrosound & Lady La Profeta?? is organized by Axe WorldFest. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
