Now in its third year, BBC Radio 3’s World Routes
Academy mentoring project turns to Latin America.
Born in London of Colombian descent, 2012’s young
apprentice is self-taught 20-year-old accordionist,
singer and guitarist José Hernando Arias Noguera.
His mentor, the renowned Bogotá-based accordion
king Egidio Cuadrado – who brings his own band –
is probably best known for his collaborations with
Carlos Vives, the Latin American superstar actorturned-
singer. Fusing the folk tradition of vallenato
with elements of rock and pop has proved a
game-changer for music now enjoyed all over the
Spanish-speaking world and beyond.
