History

Origin

In 1980, at a military base in Colombia, Alejandro Delgado and Luis Mario Cuervo some of his fellow soldiers decided to form a salsa band among themselves.

Founding

Upon his return to the city of Cali, Delgado, inspired by the tremendous moments he had with the band at the military base, got together with his friends Luis Mario Cuervo, Oscar Carvajal, and Jose Alberto Oliveros. They, along with numerous other musicians formed a band. On August 7, 1982, Delgado and the musicians got together again, but this time under the direction of Jose "Lolo" Gil, and formed Grupo Bemtú. In 1993, the band is owned by Carlos Bejarano, who direct the band to this day.
