Mexican accordionist Celso Piña, aka El Rebelde del Acordeón
(the Accordion Rebel), started playing traditional music along
with his brothers Eduardo, Rubén, and Enrique. In the
early '80s, they turned to the tropical style after listening
to Aníbal Velasquez and Alfredo Gutiérrez, forming
a group called Celso Piña y su Ronda Bogotá. In
2001, Celso Piña teamed up with local rock bands Café Tacuba,
Santa Sabina, and Control Machete, among others, to celebrate
his 20th career anniversary by recording Barrio Bravo, produced
by Alfonso Herrera and Julián Villarreal.
