Rafael José Orozco Maestre, (March 24, 1954 in Becerril, Cesar – June 11, 1992 in Barranquilla, Atlántico) was a Colombian singer of vallenato music. He was one of the major representatives of that Colombian popular folk music and lead singer and owner, along fellow accordionist Israel Romero, of the vallenato group Binomio de Oro de América, very popular in Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela. Orozco was assassinated by gunmen in front of his house on his daughter's 15th birthday party. It is believed they were hired by an angry drug lord whose wife-or girlfriend-was obsessed with Orozco. It has been alleged that Orozco had a sentimental relationship with Maria angelica Navarro Ogliasti, identified as the girlfriend of an alleged drug dealer named Jose Reinaldo Fiallo, who was himself murdered
