LOS GAITEROS DE SAN JACINTO
The Grammy-winning group is one of Colombia's most beloved and most influential groups. One of the first gaita bands to gain national popularity in the mid 1950’s, their music has had a profound impact on the development of Colombian cumbia - a rhythm that is at the heart of gaïta. Los Gaiteros’ mixture of roots music and popular sensibility has allowed them to perform in a multitude of contexts - from village fiestas to Mexico’s Olympics, rock clubs and major international festivals. The album they recorded for the Smithsonian earned them a Grammy back in 2008 and they have performed in most of Europe and the Americas.
The group is very much a village effort with new members joining the band as their elders leave.
