El Leon Pardo's Musical Journey
El Leon Pardo, known as Jorge Emilio Pardo Vásquez, transitioned from playing the saxophone to the trumpet after a significant setback when his teacher disappeared, taking the instrument with him. Growing up in a musical family along Colombia's Caribbean coast, he also learned to play the quisi bunisi, a traditional flute. By the early 2000s, Pardo fully embraced traditional music, collaborating with notable bands and pushing the boundaries of jazz within the Latin genre. His track 'La Perica' exemplifies his innovative blend of traditional and modern sounds, highlighting his unique musical identity.
