Biography

One of Colombia's prime tropical music acts, Los Corraleros de Majagual started their musical journey in the country's Caribbean coast in 1961. Throughout their extensive career, the group has received over 30 gold records and countless awards for their work, including the 1967 Guaicapuro de Oro and Barranquilla's Congo de Oro. The band was originally created by singer Calixto Ochoa and accordionist Alfredo HernÃ¡ndez as a folkloric project and, with the support of Discos Fuentes label owner and producer Antonio Fuentes Estrada, they made their official debut in 1962 with the album Alegre Majagual, which included early hits such as "Ana Felicia" and "Paloma Guarumera." After HernÃ¡ndez's departure in 1966, Los Corraleros de Majagual were led by accordion virtuoso Lisandro Meza and percussionist Julio Ernesto "Fruko" Estrada RincÃ³n, who completely revamped the group's sound by adding elements from salsa on albums like Candela Verde (1968) and Â¡Ãsta Si Es Salsa! (1970). During this time, the band began traveling regularly to New York City, where they recorded the hit single "SuÃ©ltala Pa' Que Se Defienda" from their LP Los Corraleros en Nueva York (1968). Even though the group experienced major changes in its lineup in the following decades, Los Corraleros de Majagual remained one of Colombia's most successful musical projects, influencing a whole new generation of vallenato artists along the way. Since the late 90s, the group is run by Alfredo HernÃ¡ndez's sons Dino, Walfredo, and Alfredo Jr.
