bergenPAC to Welcome Silvestre Dangond, 7/15
Join bergenPAC in welcoming Silvestre Dangond for a Colombian Independence Weekend Celebration.
Silvestre Dangond, born in Urumita, Colombia, is the son of former singer William Joseph "El Palomo" Dangond Baquero, who in the mid-seventies, would duo with Andres "El Turco" Gil. His mother, Dellys Corrales Rojas, was from a musical family, and passed on to Silvestre the charisma that radiates through his ever-climbing career.
A composer and Timbales player, Dangond is considered one of the mainstream representatives of the "new wave" of vallenato musicians. Dangond collaborated with Juancho De la Espriella to form one of the most successful vallenato groups in this genre thanks to the acceptance of their hit song La colegiala. Since then, their music has become a great success both in and outside Colombia, especially within the Latin American community in the United States.
Dangond joined with his cousin Lucas Dangond, a young accordion prodigy and gained recognition at festivals throughout the Atlantic Coast, particularly their participation in the Festival Vallenato in 2009, when he was crowned Youth King, and received the Virrey Award in the professional category in 2012.
With a successful 10 year artistic career, Dangond continues to triumph, with his newly launched album "Sigo Invicto" in November 2014, strengthening his image in international markets and once again breaking records in sales.
