Cumbia on the move! Secret Planet and Friends of the Mount Pleasant Library present the heir to cumbia: Yeison Landero and his band from Colombia with special guests La Marvela and DJs Leon City Sounds and assorted vendors!
Yeison Landero (The Heir of Cumbia), is one of the leading exponents of this internationally recognized style of Sabanera Music from the Montes de María Region in the Colombian Caribbean. The grandson of the legendary Andrés Landero (The King of Cumbia), he continues the legacy and brings the genre to new audiences with an authentic and vibrant approach.
Yeison’s career includes performances at some of the most important festivals and theaters across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, including The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, and The Festival de Orquestas at the Barranquilla Carnival (where he was awarded the Congo de Oro in 2023). Landero also represented Colombia at The World Expo Dubai 2021 and The Global Environment Summit COP16 held in Cali, Colombia in 2024.
As the creator of the International Cumbia Fest, and founder of the Fundación Landero Vive, Yeison actively works to preserve and promote Cumbia, fostering new generations of musicians and performers nationally and internationally. With his accordion and compositions, Landero continues to expand the sound of Cumbia Sabanera globally, establishing himself as The Leading Voice of Colombian Cumbia today.
La Marvela are a DC all-women band honoring Colombian Afro-Indigenous roots with drums and voices and through a female, immigrant lens.
