Piña was a pioneer in the mixture and fusion of tropical sounds with many of his works having elements of cumbia, regional mexicano, cumbia sonidera, ska, reggae, rap/hip-hop, R&B, etc. Piña is also known as El Rebelde del acordeón or the Cacique de la Campana.
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.

(Bésela ya compadre, bésela ya)
Compadre, no pierda el tiempo y bésela ya
(Bésela ya compadre, bésela ya)
(Bésela ya compadre, bésela ya)
Compadre, dele un besito y deje de hablar
¿Qué tanta vaina le dice? yo me pregunto
Mire como ella lo mira, y responde con otra historia
Que tontería, vaina, se le va a escapar
Ya deje de echarle flores y échele mano
Y entienda que aquí no hay nada personal
Con todo respeto y toda galantería
Si no se apura el agua se enfría, vaina
Se le va a escapar
(Bésela ya compadre, bésela ya)
(Bésela ya compadre, bésela ya)
Compadre, dele un besito y deje de hablar
(Bésela ya compadre, bésela ya)
(Bésela ya compadre, bésela ya)
Compadre, no pierda el tiempo y bésela ya
Su lista de amigas ya esta bastante larga
Y yo le doy un consejo de buena fe
A veces hay que arriesgarse a la cachetada
Por que o si no nunca pasa nada, mira
Esa es la verdad
Si no se la juega hermano yo me la juego
Y entienda que aquí no hay nada personal
La noche se va llenando de tiburones
Aunque se pone los pantalones, mira
Me los pongo yo
(Si no la besa entonces déjela ya)
(Si no la besa entonces déjela ya)
Compadre, si no se apura safe pa' allá
(Si no la besa entonces déjela ya)
(Si no la besa entonces déjela ya)
Compadre, si no se apura safe pa' allá
(Bésela ya compadre, bésela ya)
(Bésela ya compadre, bésela ya)
Compadre, no pierda el tiempo y bésela ya
(Bésela ya compadre, bésela ya)
(Bésela ya compadre, bésela ya)
Por el amor de Dios, compadrito, bésela ya
