Yeison Landero

Yeison Landero, a leading voice in Colombian cumbia, brings the music and accordion traditions of Colombia’s Caribbean region to The Clarice. The grandson of Andrés Landero, known as the “King of Cumbia,” Yeison carries forward his grandfather’s passion while developing a distinctive style of his own.

His performances are rooted in ancestral accordion playing and have taken him from Colombia to prominent stages including the Hollywood Bowl and New York City’s Lincoln Center, as well as venues across Canada, Europe, Africa, and beyond.
