Miguel López (musician)
Miguel Antonio López Gutiérrez (1938–2023) was a Colombian accordionist. He won the accordionist competition of the 1972 Vallenato Legend Festival, and afterwards formed the vallenato group Los Hermanos López with Jorge Oñate and his brothers Elberto and Pablo. Biography López was born on 12 March 1938 in La Paz, in the Colombian department of Cesar (although at that time still in Magdalena). His father Pablo Rafael López Gutiérrez and grandfather Juan Bautista "Juancito" López Molina were both musicians. In 1972 López beat Andrés Landero and Julio de la Ossa to win the accordionist competition of the fifth Vallenato Legend Festival, accompanied by Jorge Oñate on vocals and guacharaca. This led some to call López the "mute king of vallenato" (Spanish: "rey vallenato mudo"), because in traditional vallenato trios, the accordionist is also the lead vocalist; later, this split became a selling point. Following his win, López formed the vallenato group Los Hermano ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pacemaker
A pacemaker, also known as an artificial cardiac pacemaker, is an implanted medical device that generates electrical pulses delivered by electrodes to one or more of the chambers of the heart. Each pulse causes the targeted chamber(s) to contract and pump blood, thus regulating the function of the electrical conduction system of the heart. The primary purpose of a pacemaker is to maintain an even heart rate, either because the heart's natural cardiac pacemaker provides an inadequate or irregular heartbeat, or because there is a block in the heart's electrical conduction system. Modern pacemakers are externally programmable and allow a cardiologist to select the optimal pacing modes for individual patients. Most pacemakers are on demand, in which the stimulation of the heart is based on the dynamic demand of the circulatory system. Others send out a fixed rate of impulses. A specific type of pacemaker, called an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, combines pacemaker and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vallenato Musicians
Vallenato () is a popular folk music genre from Colombia. It primarily comes from its Caribbean region. ''Vallenato'' literally means "born in the valley". The valley influencing this name is located between the ''Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta'' and the '' Serranía de Perijá'' in north-east Colombia. The name also applies to the people from the city where this genre originated: Valledupar (from the place named ''Valle de Upar'' – "Valley of Upar"). In 2006, vallenato and cumbia were added as a category in the Latin Grammy Awards. Colombia's traditional vallenato music is Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding, according to UNESCO. Origins This form of music originated from farmers who, keeping a tradition of Spanish minstrels (''juglares'' in Spanish), used to travel through the region with their cattle in search of pastures or to sell them in cattle fairs. Because they traveled from town to town and the region lacked rapid communications, these farm ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
