Accordion player and composer, Car-
melo Torres is considered as one of
the main protagonists in the story of
Colombian Cumbia.
He is the living legacy of Cumbia Sa-
banera, a rural accordion style of cum-
bia from San Jacinto, in the Caribbean
region of Colombia, influenced by the
traditional flutes. His parents were
farmers and musicians of tradition-
al gaita, who worked in the tobacco
fields.
Torres grew up in a region steeped in
musical history, known for its gaiteros
and great musicians such as the clari-
netist and composer Lucho Bermúdez,
and the ‘King of Cumbia’, Andrés Landero who was his teacher since kid. Car-
melo is now knowned as The Accordion Bible.
In 2015, Carmelo Torres’music still smels as the music of the countryside, the
sabana is present when he sings about labour works, nature, life and love.
Indeed, He lives this new century and the globalization of our world musics
as cumbia and vallenato and his music can be danced in nightclubs making
part of our generation, looking backwards and towards in the same song.
With his group, he has performed widely at home in Colombia at caribean festi-
vals winning all the contests and at the prestigious Festival Colombia al Parque
in Bogotá in 2013. Torres has also travelled extensively with his conjunto as far
as Europe, Australia, South Korea, Morroco and throughout Latin America in
México, Panamá, Perú, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brasil. In october 2015,
Carmelo is presenting his new colaboration with Los Toscos, a group formed by
musicians of the Bogotá experimental and new cumbia scene. Indeed Sonidos
Enraizados promotes the traditional format, but we encourage contemporary
sounds that search in past to create future sounds.
