Omar Viazcán

Omar Viazcán grew up in Santa Marta, Colombia, where traditional vallenato music was part of everyday life. He started writing and performing his own songs as a teenager, playing at local festivals. His debut album 'Volver a Empezar' came out in 2017, mixing vallenato with pop elements.

His song 'A Pesar de Mí' became a hit, a collaboration with Santiago Cruz that connected with listeners. Other tracks like 'Abismo' and 'Carmesí' show his range, from emotional ballads to more rhythmic pieces. He's worked with musicians including Fonseca and Gilberto Santa Rosa, and producer Mauricio Rengifo has helped shape his recordings.

Viazcán performs with a band that includes Daniel Castro on guitar, Juan David Rojas on drums, Alejandro García on bass, and José David Martínez on accordion. His music has appeared in telenovelas and films, and he draws crowds at concerts without much promotional fanfare.
