Pablo Lescano

Pablo Sebastián Lescano (born 8 December 1977) is an Argentine singer, composer, keyboardist, and leader of Cumbia villera group Damas Gratis from 2000.

Born in 1977 in Villa La Esperanza, a poor suburb of Buenos Aires, Pablo Lescano made his first musical experience at the age of 13 years on a stolen[citation needed] Keyboard.

[3] Flor de Piedra was commercially very successful, so Lescano tackled another project in 2000: the band Damas Gratis, where he was also active as a singer, but more centrally as the group's producer.

This band revolutionized the cumbia villera sound, and was another commercial success for Lescano, winning him several music awards including the Premios Gardel.

[4][5][6] In 2001, Lescano helmed two other bands as a producer under contract: Jimmy y su Combo Negro, a parody of the traditional Colombian cumbia, and Amar y Yo, which is criticized for its sexist lyrics.
