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.

Con mi nota triste vengo a decirle a tu alma
Lo que está sintiendo mi sincero corazón
Ya no tengo paciencia ya no tengo calma
Solo vivo triste y loco por tu amor
Sin ti no puedo estar mi corazón se desespera
No lo dejes sufrir mas porque le duele y se queja
Y es que la culpa la tienes tu
Y es que la culpa la tienes tu
Si lo dejas que se muera
Yo ya no siento alegría en mi corazón
Yo ya no siento alegría en mi corazón
Solo vivo triste pensando en ti mi amante
Y si me haces sentir este dolor
Pensando en que ya tan pronto me olvidaste
Sin ti no puedo estar mi corazón se desespera
No lo dejes sufrir mas porque le duele y se queja
Y es que la culpa la tienes tu
Si lo dejas que se muera
Y es que la culpa la tienes tu
Si lo dejas que se muera

Estas pendejo!
En aquella época era puro sonidero!!
Aclarando por si no lo sabes o eres corto de entendimiento (clásico de los cholombias)
en esas épocas usaban discos de vinil (de plástico para que lo entiendas)
Y venían de la ciudad de Mexico a tocar por estos lugares!
De ahí deriva el nombre(sonideros)
y asi te podría explicar todo!
Y para ti en actualidad que es (sonidero)????
Sabes mejor trágate un plátano!🤷🏻♂️
