Life and career
Life and career
Lisandro Meza was born in El Piñal, Los Palmitos, Sucre, Sucre, Colombia on 26 September 1937. He started to sing and learned to play the accordion with his father, known as "La Armenia", in 1954. His first record was Aroma de las Flores, recorded in the same year. In 1961, Meza joined Los Corraleros de Majagual, a very well-known group which was popular in both Colombia and Venezuela. During his time with the Group, he recorded 41 LPs. He also declared that the name of the band had been changed to "Combo Gigante." In 1967, he renamed his group "Lisandro Meza y Su Conjunto" with its Album Release, "Fiesta Sabanera." Known as "Lisandro Meza y Su Conjunto" between 1967 and 1994, his music is known for its eclectic style with Dominican Merengue, Louisiana Zydeco, and Tex-Mex Norteño music. His music was inspired by many famous artists and musicians such as Los del Río, Aterciopelados, Alberto Barros, Aniceto Molina, and many more artists. Most of his music is prominent outside of Colombia, mainly in Peru, Mexico, the Southern Cone, North America, Europe, and China. In 1979, he established his band, "Los Hijos De La Niña Luz," where it included himself and his seven sons. Most of his recordings were made in Barranquilla, Colombia. Grandson Duey Meza is a Reggaeton singer. Meza died in Sincelejo, Sucre on 23 December 2023, at the age of 86.
