Jorge Oñate
Jorge Oñate was a legendary figure in Colombian vallenato music, known for his powerful voice and significant role in shaping the genre. Born in 1949 in La Paz, Colombia, Oñate rose to fame in the 1970s as one of the first singers to lead a vallenato group—before then, vocalists in the genre were typically secondary to accordionists. His collaborations with iconic accordion players like Colacho Mendoza, Álvaro López, and Juancho Rois helped popularize vallenato far beyond Colombia’s borders.
Throughout his decades-long career, Oñate recorded over 30 albums and earned numerous awards, including Latin Grammy recognition, for his contributions to the genre. His music blends traditional vallenato with modern touches, making it accessible to new generations while preserving its rich cultural roots. Jorge Oñate’s legacy continues to influence vallenato artists today, and his voice remains one of the most beloved in Latin American folk music.
