Who is Manuel Medrano?
The story of Manuel Medrano begins when he failed a school year and, as “punishment”, received a guitar. From the age of 16, he began writing songs, which motivated him to start a career as a solo artist.
For several years he played in bars in Bogota while composing his songs, which, years later, made him popular at the national level.
