Enrique Urbano Tenorio
ts, CO
Musician / Composer of Latin, Folk and World
Saxophonist and bandleader of Peregoyo Y Su Combo Vacaná. One of the most prolific and versatile composers and musicians of the Colombian Pacific Coast, known as the "King of Currulao". He was born in Buenaventura (Valle del Cauca) on January 10th, 1917 and died on October 18th, 2007 in the city of Cali. After learning to play the clarinet and saxophone he founded his first band called Orquesta Bahía, with which he played boleros and other Caribbean rhythms. Later, in 1962, he founded Peregoyo Y Su Combo Vacaná, a band which received national and international renown. The musicians of the band came from the Colombian departments of Valle del Cauca, Nariño, and Cauca. Enrique Urbano Tenorio is considered the "Lucho Bermudez of the Pacific" because he was a musician (clarinetist and saxophonist like Bermudez) who brought the folk music of the Pacific region to the upscale salons and dance clubs. He recorded in various traditional Pacific music genres like currulao, abozao, aguabajo, jota chocoana, arrullo, and others.
