Pedro “Ramayá” Beltrán, born in Patico, a small town in Colombia’s Bolívar province, is a maestro of Colombian folkloric music known as the King of the ‘caña de millo’ flute, although he is also proficient in various percussion instruments as well as the reed instrument known as ‘gaita’.

He founded La Cumbia Moderna de Soledad in the early 1970s. With this group he set out to “modernize” the folkloric music of his people, adding electric bass and a brass section to fresh arrangements of cumbias, porros, fandangos, puyas and other costeño genres.
