Europe – September 2023
Argenis Carruyo is known in the music scene as “El Volcán de América” (The Volcano of America) due to the power of his voice
Carruyo He was born in Maracaibo on August 22, 1953 at the Chiquinquira Hospital in Maracaibo, located in the same sector where he grew up.
Argenis Carruyo he had the good fortune of being a neighbor of Los Blanco, who 12 years after his birth hired him as an instrument picker, an experience that served to awaken in him the love for music, a feeling that was nurtured when he discovered in him an unmistakable talent to make singing his life support.
“The Volcano of America” because the power of his voice makes the senses of those who have the opportunity to listen to him rumble; so sings Argenis Carruyo, from Zulia, who from a very young age began to demonstrate the vocal quality that characterizes him.
He has stood out as an interpreter of the gaita zuliana and during the 1970s and 1980s belonged to the Dimensión Latina.
The 80’s was a very busy decade for this multifaceted character; he sang with Orlando y su Combo, and did a duet with Ender Carruyo in the orchestra “Los Hermanos Carruyo” and then again with the Super Combo Los Tropicales, until 1985 when he decided to found his own group called “Argenis Carruyo y su Orquesta”.
He began his musical career with the youth group Los Larkings. Later, he was part of Los Juglares and Los Casinos.
In 1973, he joined the ranks of Súper Combo Los Tropicales and in 1977 he was recruited by Dimensión Latina, with whom he sang until 1981. Later he joined the group Los Melódicos.
During the 1980s he had an intense artistic activity in which he sang with Orlando y su Combo, duetted with Ender Carruyo in the orchestra Los Hermanos Carruyo, worked again with the Súper Combo Los Tropicales and, in 1985, formed his own group: Argenis Carruyo y su Orquesta.
Sabor a Gaita:
Apart from his work with rhythms such as guaracha and salsa, Carruyo has also performed the gaita zuliana.
The Volcano of America has not only stood out among the great interpreters of the Caribbean for playing rhythms such as the guaracha, he has also honored his land by making famous great gaita compositions.
During his time in the genre he worked with groups such as El Número Uno, Rincón Morales, Guaco, Los Morillo and Gaiteros de Pillopo.
He owes part of his fame to the gaita, because the Zulian melody accompanied him on stages and still accompanies him in his veins as it does to anyone who appreciates being a worthy Maracaibero.
During his artistic life he has received numerous recognitions, as well as the publication of a book with his biography.
In 1975 he won the Festival de Cantantes y Compositores Zulianos and has received the Mara de Oro (1993, 1994, 1995) and Gran Cacique de Oro awards as best singer, the Gran Aguila de Venezuela as best singer and dance orchestra (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001), and the Catatumbo de Oro as best popular singer (1993) among others.
His orchestra received the Orden Ciudad de Maracaibo in its first class as best dance group.
He has performed in the most important nightclubs in Maracaibo, the country and abroad, alternating with the most recognized figures of the song, which is why he is considered one of the most genuine interpreters of tropical Caribbean genres in the Zulian region, such as salsa, guaracha, cumbia, merengue and bolero.
With a prolific career of more than twenty-five years that has served to demonstrate his talents as a vocalist and his own characteristic style, which gives him his most authentic identity.
Argenis Carruyo, with pride from Maracaibo, proclaims that he owes to Zulia the success and fortune that always accompanied him since he discovered the enormous talent he carried in his blood, his homeland became his main fan, to Maracaibo he owes his life and to its inhabitants the affection and the memory that will always keep him alive through his songs.
For 2023 Argenis was specially invited to participate in the excellent group Quintero’s Salsa Project – Tributo A La Dimension Latina directed by New York based percussionists Luisito Quintero and Robert Quintero.
Luisito Quintero grew up in the Latin and African percussion tradition. His father is as percussive as his uncle Carlos Nene Quintero and cousin Roberto Quintero. He became a member of the Venezuelan Symphony Orchestra, but soon joined ensembles such as Grupo Guaco and El Trabuco Venezolano and toured with Oscar D’León.
He then moved to New York, where he met Latin jazz musicians like Willie Colon, Eddie Palmieri, Tito Puente and Celia Cruz worked. He then turned to the fusion of jazz, funk, salsa and African music and played with George Benson, Herbie Hancock, Ravi Coltrane and Toshiko Akiyoshi, but also with pop musicians such as Gloria Estefan and Marc Anthony. Louie Vega produced his first album with him.

Sizzling Summer Nights at the Autry Museum Of The American West
Salsa shows at the Autry Museum
The vibrant salsa nights in Los Angeles offer countless events that make the most unsociable leave home and put the most serious to dance, but there are always some that stand out among the rest for the quality of the groups and shows offered to the public. The case in question is about the series of concerts performed by the Autry Museum, which has been baptized as Sizzling Summer Nights.
After a break due to the pandemic and without the possibility of enjoying good live music, there is still an anxiety to making up for lost time and dancing to the sound of the best hits of the bands preferred by the public from the area.
In the year 2023, the Sizzling Summer Nights are back thanks to some of the best orchestras in California and have proven to be a real success, even more than in previous years.
Join us to see the details of this weekly night of Latin music at the Autry Museum of The American West and the great success it has been since its first day on August 3.
Chino Espinoza Y Los Dueños Del Son on Sizzling Summer Nights
The first group to play in the series of performances offered by the Autry Museum was Chino Espinoza Y Los Dueños Del Son, which had already been there in previous years before the pandemic. This means that its members already know perfectly well how things have been handled at the museum with respect to this type of event.
In the previous days, it could be seen how Chino Espinoza, the central figure in the orchestra, was inviting the public to join the event across the institution’s social media platforms while he was wearing a white shirt with black pants and an enthusiastic smile on his lips.
In any orchestra’s performance, it can be seen that Chino and the rest of his musicians always give the best of them, so we knew that August 3 was not going to be an exception. Hopefully, it will be repeated for other opportunities.
Son Y Clave Orchestra on Sizzling Summer Nights
The second date of this series of shows hired a friend from house: Carlos Navarro and his Son Y Clave Orchestra. The artist and the rest of the accompanying musicians have been in charge of sprucing up the night of August 10 this year with their great flavor.
In talks with Carlos, we have learned that the sound quality offered by the venue was simply extraordinary, which made the experience even better for them and those attending the show. The crowd was delighted and wanting more for the coming weeks.
Colombian Latin Sould Band on Sizzling Summer Nights
For August 17, Colombian Latin Soul Band was chosen to liven things up and keep the audience engaged at the Autry Museum every week throughout the month.
In the social networks of the group, you can see some photos of the band members while performing on the stage assembled by the Autry Museum for the show they were about to give surrounding themselves with dancing fans eager to see them play on a beautiful, sunny summer afternoon.
Leading up to the show, they also shared a bit of their rehearsals to make sure everything was in place for the special occasion.
Vibroso ”Salsa With Vibes” on Sizzling Summer Nights
Vibroso ”Salsa With Vibes” is the orchestra that will be performing on the afternoon of August 24 to delight all those present with their talent. As of writing this article, the show had not yet taken place, so we cannot give further details. However, we have no doubts that it will be as successful as the other three salsa afternoons at the museum.
The schedule is expected to be exactly the same under the same protocol.
Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca on Sizzling Summer Nights
As was the case of the previous group, this orchestra has not yet performed, which will happen on August 31 at the same time as the previous ones. However, we can highlight that Makina Loca is a group founded in 1990 by Congolese musician Ricardo Lemvo, who came to the United States a few decades ago to pursue a college career and ended up working on Latin music.
Lemvo has said that he seeks to celebrate life and make people forget their worries with his music, so we do not doubt that his show at the Autry Museum will be what many need to relieve themselves of their troubles and daily stress.
Details of Sizzling Summer Nights
As regards details on all these events, they were taking place every Thursday in August from 6 pm to 9 pm at the Autry Museum of The American West. These performances were accompanied by dance classes with the professional instructor April Connella who taught her best moves to the attendees during these days.
In addition, the cost of each general ticket is $25, but members have the opportunity to pay only $5. On this point, it is important to stress that no cash is not accepted at the door, so the best option is to buy directly from the museum’s official website and, thus, avoid bad times when attending any of the concerts.
Finally, attendees are allowed to access the museum galleries and there is a special dance floor, especially for children, so there is entertainment for everyone.
From International Salsa Magazine, we invite the entire Los Angeles community to continue supporting all these Latin music activities so that the Autry Museum and other such institutions can continue to offer activities like these in the future.
