Yeison Landero, from San Jacinto in Colombia’s Montes de María province near Cartagena, is called “el heredero de la cumbia”—the heir to cumbia. Colombian cumbia as it’s known today was popularized in the 1960s by Yeison’s grandfather, Andrés Landero, affectionately known as “el rey de la cumbia” (“the king of cumbia”). He was a prolific songwriter, often writing about his love for Colombia, its people, and culture, creating an expansive repertoire of cumbia hits that are now considered classics. Andrés translated the indigenous melodies of San Jacinto’s gaitas (a native flute made of a hollowed-out cactus stem) to the accordion; combined them with propulsive African-derived rhythms played on a trio of percussion instruments, including the tambora and llamador; added electric bass to fill out the bottom; and wrote and sang lyrics that championed the lives of rural indigenous and Black campesinos, who are thought to have brought the foundations of cumbia to the region centuries earlier. Yeison Landero grew up in an environment rich with music, dances, and serenades. He began studying with his grandfather at just 7 years old, inheriting not just Andrés’s love of cumbia and the accordion, but also his talent to interpret melodies. Yeison started playing in groups with his grandfather and sister, performing cumbia at festivals, celebrations, concerts, regional fairs, and touring nationally. He later went on to study music at Palacio de Bellas Artes, and got his law degree at the University of Cartagena. His love for his ancestral accordion and his passion for cumbia were so great that he returned to performing full time, captivating the hearts of cumbiamberos along the way. Yeison released his first album, Landero Vive, as a tribute to his grandfather's immortal legacy. Since then, he has not stopped playing, representing Colombian cumbia’s unique sound nationally and internationally. Today Yeison Landero and his band are keeping classic cumbia alive, updating it for 21st century listeners and dancers, and bringing it to the world through their performances and recordings. #yeisonlandero #cumbia #gashilldrinkingroom #wsnc #supportlivemusic - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/winston-salem/an-evening-of-cumbia-music-with-yeison-landero/200029989851708 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, music, performances, festivals, concerts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 11 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Winston Salem - **state**: NC - **country**: United States - **location**: Gas Hill Drinking Room - **lat**: 36.104782910714 - **long**: -80.246188107143 - **full address**: Gas Hill Drinking Room, 170 W 9th St,Winston-Salem,NC,United States, Winston Salem ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening of Cumbia Music with Yeison Landero - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/e96ba3e5bc82e04db4744f99dc4beffa0868481ec155de95bc995162c1051aca-rimg-w1200-h779-dc2f022e-gmir?v=1777256287 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is An Evening of Cumbia Music with Yeison Landero being held? - **A:** An Evening of Cumbia Music with Yeison Landero takes place on Tue, 05 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Tue, 05 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Gas Hill Drinking Room, 170 W 9th St,Winston-Salem,NC,United States, Winston Salem. - **Q**: Who is organizing An Evening of Cumbia Music with Yeison Landero? - **A:** An Evening of Cumbia Music with Yeison Landero is organized by The Ramkat. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
