Piña started playing music in his hometown Monterrey with his brothers Eduardo, Rubén and Enrique. Together they would go to several homes and perform for local citizens, especially teenage girls from their neighborhood.
In 1980, Celso Piña bought his first accordion and was introduced to the world of musica norteña. He spent numerous hours of practice and work in the popular district of La Colonia Independencia, south of the city of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Having lived for a majority of his life there, he titled one of his songs Mi colonia Independencia, which is located at the heavily populated area of Cerro de la Campana, near of the downtown in Monterrey.
Piña's group decided to change their musical rhythm to encompass a more tropical style during the mid-1980s after having seen Aníbal Velásquez and Alfredo Gutiérrez in concert at "Baile de las Cintas (reproducción de música mediante cintas)". The group decided to switch into the genre of cumbia, and became what today is Celso Piña y su Ronda Bogotá.
Piña taught himself how to play the accordion with no formal training. As a result he was able to create the unique sound he is well known for. His most popular songs include, La quebradita de la paz, El tren, Como el viento and La piragua by José Barros. He was featured in the song Sufran con lo que yo gozo along with Mexican singer Gloria Trevi.
Celso had several successful international tours that included countries as Germany, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Czech Republic, Italy, France, Switzerland, Morocco, Colombia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Argentina, Chile, Canada and the United States.
On August 21, 2019, Piña died from a heart attack in Monterrey, Mexico at the age of 66.

Celso Piña was a Mexican singer, composer and accordionist. In 2002, Pina was nominated for two Latin Grammy Awards: "Best Contemporary Tropical Album" and "Best New Artist From the North" as well as for "Best Alternative Artist" by the MTV Latino Awards. He is also know by the nicknames: El Rebelde del Acordeón and Cacique de la Campana.
He's an accordion player and singer who has risen to be one of the most notable figures in cumbia music. Cumbia has it's origins in Colombia's African and indigenous populations but has since spread to be one of the most universal Latin American genres. Celso Piña is a pioneer in mixing or blending a tropical base with popular genres from Norteño to Sonidero, Ska, Reggae, Rap, Hip Hop, and R&B.

In the mid 1980s they changed their musical style and began playing tropical music. After listening to the distinguished Aníbal Velasquez and Alfredo Gutierrez during a baile de cintas (dancing with ribbons to music playback), decided to enter fully into the vallenata music, and so he formed his own band Celso Piña y su Ronda Bogotá.
Piña began playing regional music from long ago together with his brothers Eduardo, Rubén, and Enrique together serenading the neighborhood with all the girls on the block.

Cumbia Campanera
Celso Piña Lyrics
Intro
Ya llegó la campanera.
Es del Campano, costa colombiana.
La mujer más cumbiambera, Que tiene la costa de la sabana.
Esa negra campanera, Anda buscando al tigre sabanero.
Pa' que le toque al campanero,
Porque ella quiere bailar en la cumbiamba.
Salió de la costa colombiana, Para luego volver a mi Monterey.
Va para la costa mejicana A bailar cumbia hasta amanecer.
Acapulco y en San Marcos Guerrero, Ella dice que el dinero se queda.
Para ver quien son los cumbiamberos Que le aguanten a la campanera.
Porque ella es peligrosa con su movimiento e' caderas.
Y a los hombres que agarra, temblando los deja.
Ella quiere bailar por todas las costas de Guerrero,
Porque sabe que son bastante cumbiamberos.
Ay en la costa chica y en la costa grande, la negra,
A una rueda de cumbia va la campanera.
Ay en la costa chica y en la costa grande, la negra,
A una rueda de cumbia va la campanera.
Musica
Porque ella es peligrosa con su movimiento e' caderas.
Y a los hombres que agarra, temblando los deja.
Ella quiere bailar por todas las costas de Guerrero,
Porque sabe que son bastante cumbiamberos.
Ay en la costa chica y en la costa grande, la negra,
A una rueda de cumbia va la campanera.
Ay en la costa chica y en la costa grande, la negra,
Va a bailar la cumbia la negra campanera.
