Arnulfo Briceño was a celebrated Colombian musician and composer, revered for his profound impact on the country's cultural landscape. Born in Moniquirá, Boyacá, Colombia, Briceño was not just an accomplished artist in his own right but also a significant figure in the preservation and promotion of traditional Colombian music, particularly the llanera genre, which is native to the Orinoco Plains of Colombia and Venezuela.

Throughout his career, Arnulfo Briceño was known for his deep, melodious voice and masterful harp playing, which brought the sounds of the llanos to life in his music. His dedication to the genre is apparent in his works, with titles that pay homage to the plains and their culture such as "Llanero Andino," "Alma Llanera," "Ay! Mi Llanura…" and "La Música Llanera." These pieces reflect his love and commitment to the folk traditions of his homeland, embodying the spirit of the Colombian plains through their rich melodies and poignant lyrics. Sadly, the music world mourned the loss of this regional icon when Arnulfo passed away, but his legacy continues to influence and inspire artists and admirers of Colombian folk music.
