Yari Moré
The Romantic of Salsa

Some years ago, a group of Friends gathered at a nightclub in Bogotá, Colombia. Among them was Yari Moré, a talent ready to be discovered. Suddenly, one of Yari's friends asked the Bandleader to give Yari a chance to sing.

The bandleader, thinking he was in front of another drunk customer who wanted a chance at stardom accepted reluctantly. As Yari performed on stage, he displayed his natural talent for the music. Little did he know that this was his step to a bigger world. Not only Yari capture the crowd but he had them asking to sing more.

Shortly after, this " debut" motivated the Bandleader to hire Yari permanently as the main singer of the band. He continued to sing with the group for the next six months until joining the top bands in Colombia, " La Tropibomba" and Then" La Catedra de Colombia." Due to his impressive talent,Yari then earned a two year contract to join " Orquestra Blacio Jr." as a lead singer in the sister republic of Ecuador. After that, he would move to the United States.

Success seemed to be the defining trait of Yari's career. After performing with popular bands throughout Colombia and Ecuador, Yari moved to Los Angeles to further cultivate his career.
