Los Hermanos Calero are loyal interpreters of Colombian music and excellent representatives of the arts from the Andean region of Colombia combining all elements of the universal language of music from the villages.

In their musical style, tears, laughter, and dreams of young and old alike as well as the flavor they imprint on their performances honor the beautiful bambucos, torbellinos, guabinas, pasillos, waltzes, and dances that are mixed with melodies from Latinamerica and build in high quality forms. Not only singers with energizing voices but great performers of the Colombian guitar and tiple.
