MEXICO CITY — Celso Piña, accordionist and pioneer of the popular Colombian vallenato musical genre, died Wednesday of a heart attack. He was 66 years old.
His record company The Tuna Group said in a statement that the Mexican musician died Wednesday in his native city of Monterrey. "We are left with an immense emptiness, but we have his great legacy forever," the statement said.
His music made several generations of people dance.
Colombian Nobel Prize autor Gabriel García Márquez danced to his music when he visited Monterrey and Mexican film director Alejandro González Iñárritu included one of his songs for the soundtrack of his 2006 movie Babel.
