Originally from the town of El Campano, Colombia, Aniceto Molina began his musical career at the 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 U.S. Seeing that his music made a lasting impression in the United States, he decided to make San Antonio, Texas his home in the summer of 1984.
