Gaiteros De Pillopo

Their first success came with "El Superior" sang by Argenis Carruyo. They were also known for their characteristic sound of beat and harmony based on the guitar, with coros and the sound of the small cowbell, used by the timbaleros to mark the beat in the cha cha.
They had many singers: Luis Escaray, Leandro Lenin Montiel, Nelson Romero, Renny Guerra, Eroy Chacín, Enrique Quiroz, Adolfo Ochoa, Eddy Méndez, Luis Germán Briceño, Astolfo David Romero, Adolfo Ochoa (from 2021), and constantly renewed the group members to be still active in the 2010s and on.
