Pastor López

about

Pastor López (José Pastor López, Barquisimeto, Venezuela, June 15, 1944 - April 5, 2019) was a Venezuelan cumbia singer and songwriter. López, also known as "El Indio Pastor" (Pastor, The Indian), started out singing the Joropo musical style in a group with his brothers, but didn't gain more widespread notoriety until joining forces with fellow musician Nelson Henríquez. After two years performing in Nelson Henriquez's group (1972-1973) he decided to branch off and form his own: "Pastor López y su Combo." Many of the cumbias he has recorded are interpretations of works associated with "Peruvian cumbia", including "Cariñito sin mi", "Bonita y Mentirosa", and "Traicionera" among others. The success of his more than 30 year musical career has not been limited to his two nations of residence, Venezuela and Colombia, but spans the United States, Canada, Spain, the UK, and other countries with significant Colombian and Latino populations. He was one of the foremost recording stars for the dominantly cumbia record label Discos Fuentes. The singer died on April 5, 2019, at the age of 74 years, at the North Clinic in the city of Cucuta, Colombia, after having suffered a stroke. DiscographyPastor López nació en el seno de una familia humilde, pero noble, en la ciudad de Barquisimeto, Venezuela, a principios de la década de los 50. Fué educado bajo los canones de la tradición católica y sufrió, como muchas otras familias, la muerte de su padre a temprana edad. A la edad de cinco años
