Background notes
Archive material and source history
La Leyenda formed in Medellín, Colombia in the mid-1990s around founders Édgar "El Chepe" Montoya and Orlando "El Cholo" Valderrama. They played traditional Andean rhythms and vallenato at local festivals, building a following without much initial attention.
Their 2001 single "¿Quién Me Hace Segunda?" became a national hit in Colombia, mixing those traditional sounds in a way that connected with listeners. Another song, "Más Vale Que Marques," also found an audience. The band's popularity grew through the early 2000s.
In 2006, La Leyenda had a public dispute with their record label that led to a temporary breakup. They reunited later, though the details of that period remain part of their story.
