Biography
Lisandro Meza Jr., known professionally as Chane Meza, is a Colombian tropical musician and producer who carried the sabanera accordion tradition into a more pop-facing cumbia circuit while also working behind the scenes for decades. He was born in Los Palmitos, Sucre, grew up inside the same musical environment associated with his father Lisandro Meza, and began performing very youngâfirst on percussion and then as a singer-musician. By his early teens he was already part of his fatherâs working band and, from that point, he spent roughly four decades as a close musical collaborator and co-producer, shaping arrangements and recordings as much as fronting his own material. He also linked to the classic âCorralerosâ ecosystem as a teenager, and later developed a solo identity under the El Chane/Chane Meza name with albums that circulated widely in the late 1980s and 1990s, including ¡Cuidado! Llegó⦠El Chane (1987), Sagitario (1989), Mi Bom Bom (1990), Tierra Caliente (1992), and Chane Meza (1996). His best-known songs include âLa Cabellonaâ and staples such as âCon el Mismo Son,â âLas Chiquillas,â âLa Escoba,â âEl Sapo,â and âEl Parce,â which kept his catalog present in Colombian cumbia and in neighboring markets. In the 2020s he remained active through singles and guest appearances, including âPerrito Alegreâ (2023), and he reached a new regional audience in 2025 through the live performance âMix Lisandro Mezaâ with Peruâs Grupo 5, a collaboration that tied his repertoire directly back to the Meza family songbook.
