Biography

Originally from the town of El Campano, Colombia, Aniceto Molina began his musical career at the young age of 12 playing the accordion. As the years passed he continued to tour and record throughout Central America. From 1973 to 1984 he lived in Mexico City and during this time he recorded albums and toured extensively throughout Mexico and began to tour the United States. Seeing that his music made a lasting impression in the United States, he decided to make San Antonio, TX his home in the summer of 1984. Aniceto Molina continues to tour throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America.
Molina, who is also known as “El Tigre Sabanero” is said to be Colombia’s ambassador of cumbia vallenato. One of his songs whose title is play buttonMi Sombrero Sabanero (from the album with the same name, 2006) speaks of the admiration and respect that a person from Colombia has towards his “sombrero sabanero” (also known as “sombrero vueltiao”), one of the more typical artifacts from the Atlantic coast of Colombia and one of the cultural elements most popularly used throughout the world when representing Colombia.
