Buenaventura, no me dejes más

His stage name, refers to a port of the Colombian pacific named Buenaventura, where Yuri Bedoya was born and raised, a 46 years old mulatto, who in spite of being rather short and thin, says he is a 6 foot 7 inch black man deep down. Buenaventura was inhabited by Cimarrones, free slaves; being born and raised there really scarred Yuri. The sounds of the drum, marimba, the cooing of black people in the seashore and the gray sky; the forest, the Tunda and the Virgen del Carmen; the witchcraft and faith that are breathed there, gave the hallmark with which you can recognize a musician from Buenaventura.
