Andrés Cepeda

by Craig Harris The guitarist/vocalist of popular Colombian rock band Polygamy during the late '80s and early '90s, Andres Cepeda has remained active in the music scene of his homeland. Although he spent two years in the United States studying sound engineering following the group's disbanding, he resumed his place in the music of Colombia upon his return. In addition to producing albums by Colombian artists including Carolina Sabino and Marbelle, and serving as musical producer of the television soap opera El Amor Es Mas Fuerte (My Love Is Stronger), he has recorded two impressive solo albums -- Se Morir and El Carpintero -- since 2000. The youngest of five brothers, Cepeda studied piano with Ruth Marulanda from the age of five.
